                                  Please Make an Appointment

Pipestone County Food Shelf requests that you make an appointment at least 24 hours in advance of your visit.  Please click on the "Schedule Appointment" tab, above, to make your appointment.  Those arriving without an appointment will be offered the first available time slot.

Beginning in September, 2012, the Food Shelf changed it's method of food distribution from a version of "pre-packed" to "Client Choice".

Accompanied by a Food Shelf volunteer, shoppers are able to choose the items they require --based on the size of their household -- from the various categories offered.
