Community Action Center of Northfield - Food Shelf & Thursday’s Table

Since 1985, the Food Shelf has provided food each month for people in need. In 2014-15, over 50,000 pounds of food is distributed each month to about 465 local families. The Food Shelf provides high-quality, nutritious food to people in need. The Food Shelf stocks commercially prepared, non-perishable food including canned fruits and vegetables, soup, pasta and tomato sauce, rice, milk, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, canned meat, baby food and formula. The Food Shelf also stocks non-food items such as toilet paper, diapers, detergent and soap. The Food Shelf is open Mondays 11:00 am - 5:00 pm, Tuesdays from 12:00 noon - 7:00 pm, Thursdays from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm and Fridays from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm. Fresh produce is available on a first-come, first-serve basis to households the last hour of each day the Food Shelf is open. Bread is available Monday - Friday mornings on the second floor table outside the CAC offices. Donations are accepted any time that the Food Shelf is open. Launched in April 2008, Thursday's Table gives everyone - but especially those in transition - a hot, healthy meal every Thursday. Since its beginning, Thursday's Table has been dishing up a nutritious meal to approximately 200 people each week. Meals are served from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Northfield Community Resource Center's dining room, located at 1651 Jefferson Parkway in Northfield.
