CAP Agency - Food Shelf

Printer Friendly Description CAP Agency Food Shelf, located in Shakopee, provides a nutritionally balanced, five-day supply of food to individuals or families in need. The amount of food distributed per request is based on the number of members in the household. Participation Services are available by appointment to individuals and families of all ages living in Scott County who are not able to provide for the nutritional needs of their household. On an average, the CAP Agency Food Shelf serves over 1,200 families each month. Item Donations Donations of food items are accepted Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. All food and household item donations to the CAP Agency Food Shelf are appreciated. The following items do, however, best help meet the needs of the food shelf:
Food items Canned fruit Peanut butter Baked beans Black beans Cereal Canned tuna Macaroni and cheese Rice	Household items Bar soap Diapers Laundry detergent Shampoo Toilet paper Toothpaste
