Due to the Coronavirus, pre-packed bags of groceries are being distributed. Fill a bag or two of groceries and hygiene items, and bring them to CES, or, call to set a delivery time… 
If you have time, we would be glad to give you a tour and introduce you to CES in action!

Paper Grocery Bags with Handles
Drop off:1900 11th Ave S, Minneapolis612-870-1125Food is, of course, the main ongoing aspect of CES. Food donations and/or funds to buy food are always welcome. As a result of our food purchase “connections,” any dollar donated to CES to purchase food goes 10-20 times farther than a dollar spent at the store. For example, for the price of one can of corn at your grocery store, CES can purchase 10 cans of corn through the food banks.
