We’re here for you. Call us at 952.888.9616 to make an appointment for the Food Pantry. 

VEAP is taking proactive measures amid Coronavirus spread. At this time we are adjusting our operations to a drive-up model. Learn more.

Whether you need to visit our Food Pantry or are looking for more resources in your community, your first step is to give us a call.  Volunteer operators will gather information and explain VEAP’s programs. They can also set up an appointment for you to visit our Food Pantry. VEAP’s call intake center closes at 4:30 p.m. on Monday – Friday.

Am I eligible?

Eligibility for VEAP’s programs is based on residency. Residents of Bloomington, Edina, Richfield and south Minneapolis (south of 50th Street and west of Cedar Avenue) are eligible for VEAP’s programs.

What should I bring?

A photo ID, a piece of current official mail, like a utility bill, and identification for additional household members, are requested at the time of your visit.

Is VEAP the same as Hennepin County?

No. While Hennepin County’s South Suburban Hub is located at VEAP, we do not share your personal information nor access case information without your written permission. If you have questions, please contact the Director of Social Services, Tara Little, at taral@veap.org

We understand.

Volunteers and staff understand that accessing VEAP programs may be a humbling experience.  We will treat you with respect and connect you with the resources that will help you regain stability. All new visitors have the opportunity to speak with a member of our Social Services team who will listen and connect you with VEAP’s programs and other community resources.
