Gather and Grow offers a grocery delivery service! Grocery deliveries take place monthly.
We heard from our local seniors that it could be difficult to get to the food shelf if your mobility or transportation options are limited. To help break down those barriers, we developed a mobile food delivery program. On the 2nd Wednesday of each month, we deliver groceries to Cologne, New Germany, St. Boni, Watertown, Minnetrista, Mayer, Victoria, and Waconia communities.
You can place your order online “here”, print the “PDF” order form and mail it in, or drop off the pdf at the food shelf.
Please contact Angie Cruzen, Executive Director, with any questions, 9952-442-3878.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What cities do you deliver to?
Waconia, Cologne, St. Boni, Minnetrista, Victoria, New Germany, Mayer, and Watertown, MN
Can I still come into the food shelf to shop even if I get a mobile delivery?
Yes, you are still welcome to visit the food shelf in person. Your mobile delivery will count as one monthly visit.
Is there a delivery fee?
Of course not!
What if what I want isn’t on the order form?
The order form lists the food shelf items that are almost always in stock. If you have a special preference for food that is not listed, you can indicate your preference in the notes section and we will do our very best to accommodate you.
What happens if I am not home when you deliver my food?
Certain food regulations prevent us from leaving your food unattended. If you cannot be home at the time of your delivery, please call the food shelf and we will do our best to accommodate you. If prior accommodations are not made and you are not home at the time of delivery, the food will be brought back to the food shelf and restocked.
