From Cook County Extension - January 1, 2026

Looking for a meaningful way to give back in 2026? Join us for an orientation session to learn about SuperShelf, a new grocery-style model coming to the Grand Marais Food Shelf this year. This "client-choice" approach empowers shoppers to select their own food, promoting dignity and improving access to nutritious meals for our community.

• When: Tuesday, January 6 | 10:00 – 11:30 AM

• Where: Grand Marais Food Shelf, located downstairs at Grand Marais Congregational Church (300 W 2nd St)

We are seeking volunteers to help with both the initial space transformation and ongoing operations. Attending the orientation does not commit you to a role—come check it out and see if it’s a fit for you!

Interested but can’t make it on Tuesday? Reach out to Carol Stender, at [email protected] to get connected.
