FOOD SHELF NOW OPEN

524 1st Avenue,

Westbrook, MN

Mary & Martha's Pantry, the local area food shelf, is open and thanks are due to many within the Westbrook community and the surrounding area. 

The Pantry is operated by a group of volunteers from the community.  No one is being paid a wage or receiving any goods or services for volunteering at the Panty.  Our volunteers are serving in various capacities as we organize our Pantry and determine the best methods to operate efficiently and economically.  At present, Harry Baulisch is the Interim Chairperson with Suellen Dusek as Secretary, Jeannie Schmitz as Treasurer and Carol Olsem and Tony Leboutillier as Lead Volunteers.  For the time being, the Pantry's hours are as follows:

            Monday, Wednesday, Friday       9:00am - NOON
            Tuesday & Thursday                  2:30pm - 5:30pm
            Saturday                                   8:00am - 11:00am (serving coffee only)
            Sunday                                     Closed

Mary & Martha's Pantry is a program of Western Community Action, Inc., a private non-profit agency with a 501 (c) (3) Internal Revenue Service designation.  Western Community Action (WCA) is not part of any Federal, State, or County Government and its employees are not federal or state employees.  A local board governs WCA and applies to various federal and state organizations and foundations to obtain funding and grants to meet the locally determined needs of the community.  WCA provides the Pantry with advisors to assist our volunteers with the operation of our store.  Teaming up with WCA brings to our Pantry a tremendous amount of experience, guidance and resources that will allow us to flourish.

Anyone who is unable to provide food for themselves through traditional means -- especially, the elderly, the sick and those who's fiscal situation warrants assistance -- can be a "Customer" of the pantry.  When an individual or family makes their first visit to the Pantry, they will be asked to complete a “Customer Intake Form" to record a variety of information specific to the customer's situation and need for assistance.  Customers should bring identification (driver's license, identification card, etc.) and be able to show proof of residence (utility bill, some other piece of mail).  Providing financial information on this form is optional. All information gathered from individuals is safeguarded and treated with confidentiality and is information gathered for the specific use of the Pantry and Western Community Action.

Customer visits are limited to two (2) visits per month, other than emergency situations, and depending upon the availability of some commodities.  We are also attempting to limit usage to those residents within an approximate 25 mile radius of Westbrook.  The area around the communities of Westbrook, Currie, Dovray, Storden, Jeffers, Lamberton and Walnut Grove are specifically targeted.  All food and commodities are distributed free of charge to eligible customers.
