Bethel Supports the Hudson Food Cupboard

In December, the Bethel community is asked to provide volunteers to staff the Hudson Food Cupboard. To volunteer, please contact:

Dave Datt 715-410-2717
Ron Johnson 651-271-8547

The Hudson Food Cupboard at Saint Patrick Catholic Church provides support for those facing food insecurity in the local community. Staffed by dedicated volunteers, the food cupboard offers a wide range of essential groceries and household items, ensuring that no one goes hungry. Recipients are treated with dignity and respect throughout the process. Additionally, the food cupboard may provide resources and referrals to support recipients in addressing underlying challenges contributing to their food insecurity. Please call to schedule an appointment (715-338-0332) or click the link below.

Providing Food for People in Need | Hudson Food Cupboard

Appointment Hours:

Mon – Thurs: 9 am – 1 pm
Tues: 4 pm – 6 pm

By calling for an appointment you will be guaranteed a private, in-person shopping experience. Parking by the door is available to help with getting your groceries to your car.

The Hudson Food Cupboard is not a food rescue operation and does not receive government surplus food through the TEFAP program. Items have been checked for ‘best by’ dates to confirm expiration dates. We have a wide variety of items, such as soup, canned vegetables and beans, ethnic items, rice, pasta, and personal hygiene products.   Each family selects about 150 pounds of food at their visit, with additional food available for larger families.  You will also receive a food coupon and a coupon for a gallon of milk to redeem at the local grocery store.

Families currently receiving assistance from either the Backpack Program and/or Cornerstone Church are “welcome” to utilize the services of the Hudson Food Cupboard.

Monday Morning Food Give Away

‍Surplus food giveaway (excess bakery and produce from local groceries) is held in the lower level of Saint Patrick Church at 9:00 AM on Monday mornings. No cost and no questions asked for this giveaway. Businesses interested in donating their excess food items are welcome.

Address:  The Food Cupboard is in the Basement of St. Pat's Church (enter via lower west entrance of building).
