Food Rescue
Last year alone, Menomonie Market donated over 24,000 lbs of food.
Providing access to food and eliminating hunger are always at the top of our minds. To aid in these efforts, we partner with Stepping Stones through an annual food rescue program, which is the practice of gleaning edible foods from our store that would otherwise go to waste and distributing it to local emergency food programs.
We also extend support in the following ways:
• Annual donations to Stepping Stones fundraisers
• A pick up bin located in our lobby for customer food donations
• Permanent Hill o’ Beans donations
• Round up at the register donations
If you’d like to drop off a food donation for Stepping Stones on your next shopping trip, visit the front of our store and locate the pick up bin.
