A fresh cooked meal makes a difference.
Update February 2023
We are under construction on our second floor, so we have half our residents at the shelter and half at a local hotel, but we still depend on our community to donate meals! You will need to provide food for 30 residents, and please note the importance of our food safety guidelines. We are not a licensed kitchen, so meals cannot be prepared on-site.
We are looking for individuals or groups, to cook a meal off-site in a licensed community kitchen, or you may cook purchased retail foods onsite, but they must be unopened and labeled (e.g. Take and Bake Lasagna, retail meal items like Costco or Simek’s). We are not licensed to cook from scratch, so we rely heavily on donated food and groups to bring in meals. We can also have food from a restaurant brought in. Pizza Ranch in Andover will give a discount if you tell them it is for Stepping Stone. We also allow sandwiches to be prepared here if the group brings the “fixings”- it is totally up to you. We provide the plates, utensils, beverages, and clean up. Masks must be worn at all times in the shelter. **In the interest of respecting all our guests needs, we ask that you refrain from pork products of any kind.**
To sign up to donate a meal or questions, fill out the form below or contact Jeff at (763) 370-5744, jeff.conner@steppingstoneeh.org.
