Grocery Delivery

Delivering nutritious groceries to homebound seniors and adults with disabilities.

Supporting Neighbors with Food and Essentials

For many homebound seniors and adults with disabilities, getting groceries and essentials can be challenging. Keystone has a free grocery delivery program to increase food access for low-income seniors and adults with disabilities. Food is sourced from Keystone Community Food Center, and packed by volunteers who try to accommodate customer choice as much as possible. Those who qualify can receive a delivery once a month.

  • Sending Someone to the Food Shelf in Your Place

    If you are unable to pick up food for yourself at the food shelves or on the Foodmobile, you may designate someone else to pick up for you. To do this, you have two options. The first option is to call in to one of our food shelves to give verbal permission. The second is to write a note that states the name of the individual picking up for you, with your name and signature, and send it along with the person picking up your food. Please call our food shelves if you have any questions about this process.

  • Meals on Wheels

    You can receive locally delicious, nutritious, prepared meals that are delivered by a neighborhood volunteer. Meal options and frequency of delivery can be tailored to meet an individual’s schedule and dietary needs.

    Keystone is a member of Metro Meals on Wheels, the organization who organizes the team that provides the services throughout the Twin Cities metro area. Call Metro Meals on Wheels at 612-623-3363 with questions or to register to receive Meals on Wheels.
