The remodel helps defeat stigmas about food pantries.

MOORHEAD, Minn. – Churches United has transformed its Dorothy Day Food Pantry into a grocery store-like experience called the SuperShelf.

The SuperShelf offers the ability for Churches United to provide more well-balanced meals than they were able to before, as well as, encouraging healthier options.

The remodel is also intended to destigmatize food pantries by making them look more like a grocery store.

“We’re most excited about the ability to serve folks better, all the time. We’re always looking towards the future to see how we can do a better job of serving our neighbors in the community.” said Pastor Sue Koesterman, the CEO of Churches United.

The pantry is still is need of more donations to operate.
