Our Work Is Stronger Because of You

Bountiful Basket Food Shelf is fortunate to have incredible community partners who help make our work possible. Through collaboration and shared commitment, we’re able to connect more neighbors with the food, resources, and support they need.

We are forever grateful for what you do to help in building a community for all!

Individuals

Although too numerous to mention it is the individuals throughout the Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska and Victoria area that have provided the volunteers, the food and the money necessary for the Bountiful Basket Food Shelf to operate over the past 12 years.  Each year we distribute approximately 400,000 lbs. of food to help those who are in Need.

Businesess/Civic Organizations/Schools

Thank you to the public and private schools in Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska and Victoria for all that you have done in relation to food donations and in helping to educate our youth as to the importance of food shelves in building a community for all.

Our appreciation goes out to the Chaska Lions, Chaska and Chanhassen Rotary, Legions, VFW, youth athletic organizations and all the other groups that have provided the dollars and the food necessary for the Bountiful Basket to meet its mission.

The businesses of Eastern Carver County continue to be a mainstay of support in providing those donations which are used to help provide food support for over 1,000 individuals each month.  This program allows our volunteers to pick up food at local businesses on a daily basis including frozen meat, produce, dairy, breads, pastry, and canned goods.

These supporters are instrumental to our success as a food shelf
