Last year alone, Menomonie Market donated 23,000 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.

Request a donation from Menomonie Market Food Co-op.

We encourage any local organization serving the community to approach us for a donation, and we seek to honor each request as long as the purpose or event for which it is requested is non-partisan, non-electoral, enriches the community, and can be described succinctly by the organizers. Donation requests are reviewed as received, and a confirmation email or phone call will be sent, usually within a week, if accepted. Donations are typically prepared at least one week prior to the event and are ready for pick up on a Friday.

Available donation options include:
• $25 Gift Card
• Case of Fair Trade Bananas
• Chocolate Lovers Bundle
• Coffee Basket
• Relaxation Basket
