Mission
COMMUNITY EMERGENCY SERVICE (CES) IS ONE OF THE LARGEST FOOD DISTRIBUTION NONPROFITS SERVING ONE OF THE POOREST COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES. OUR MISSION IS TO TURN HUNGER INTO HOPE THROUGH THREE PRINCIPAL PROGRAMS: (I) FOOD MARKET, (II) MEALS ON WHEELS, AND (III) ANI-MEALS, WHICH SUPPORTS PET FOOD ACCESS AND VETERINARY HEALTH FOR COMPANION ANIMALS. TOGETHER, THESE PROGRAMS SERVE THOUSANDS OF NEIGHBORS EACH WEEK. DURING THE YEAR, CES DISTRIBUTED 250,000 POUNDS OF FOOD THROUGH OUR FOOD SHELF, PROVIDED 82,000 MEALS THROUGH MEALS ON WHEELS, AND SUPPORTED 900 NEIGHBORS THROUGH THE ANI-MEALS PROGRAM.
