Community Free Food Calendar-Anoka County

Announcements:
Attention: Please check this website often. It is changing rapidly and often.
Please tell friends and churches of Community Calendar to use this website for latest update,
and to email me for any changes or concerns.
The June calendars are now out. Churches are asked to submit their corrections anytime.
Please remember to check the website for the latest updates.
Stay safe and clean.

Check calendars: Schedule changes are happening rapidly. I trust that many of you will take appropriate precautions and measures from the spreading of this and any other virus and illness.
Please do not hand out or distribute any more calendars that were printed at the beginning of the month.
Refer people to this website for updates and calendars.
(Although I do not support of completely shutting down any meals and distributions. We must look to these as Outreach Ministries as that.)
Keep sickness and illnesses at home!
