Emergency Services

We provide vital emergency services and referrals for American Indian families & the broader Saint Paul community.

What we offer

  • Food shelf with healthy, culturally informed choices for diverse families
  • Clothing closet
  • Referrals to community-based resources and services

How you can help

  • Make a financial donation to our food shelf.
  • Donate healthy, quality food to our food shelf
    Our most needed items are: cereals, cooking and baking items, rice, pasta, soups, and side dishes.
  • Start a Food Drive: Initiate a food drive in your congregation or with your friends to collect essential food items. You can deliver to our food shelf location during business hours or contact Theresa to have your donation picked up.
  • Collect a Special Offering: Ask your house of worship to collect a special offering dedicated to the DIW food shelf. Every dollar contributed will directly benefit those in need and help us fill empty shelves.
  • Volunteer in the food shelf.

At this time we are not collecting any additional clothing donations.

We’ve Moved!

As we finalize our move and prepare our space to best serve the community, food shelf services are temporarily halted.

Please stay tuned for our reopening! Food shelf visits will be scheduled by appointment.

Please note: If St. Paul Public Schools close due to weather emergencies, the food shelf is also closed.
