STEP provides confidential food shelf services to those in need residing in St. Louis Park. STEP requests residents make an appointment to use the food shelf by calling 952-925-4899. Services are delivered by licensed social workers and STEP volunteers. STEP requests a picture ID and verification of St. Louis Park address at the initial appointment and annually thereafter; postmarked within past 30 days. STEP offers a shopping model where clients may pick out their own groceries. STEP strives to have eggs, milk and meat available at each visit. Dry and canned goods are available at every appointment. STEP also provides product that is Kosher. In addition, for those households who keep Kosher, a gift care to the store for meat for Shabbat is provided. Households are encouraged to come 1 time per month. Households may come 2 times per month if discussed with a STEP social worker. Emergency food (1 bag of nonperishable goods, bread, meat, and shelf stable milk) is available to those who walk in or to those who cannot make an appointment. Homeless youth who drop in will be given emergency food.
