Teamsters Food Shelf

The Teamsters Helping Teamsters Food Shelf (Teamsters Joint Council 32 Food Shelf) assists Teamster members and their families when they are out of work, sick or laid-off. With the help of the Minnesota Teamsters Retirees Club and other volunteers, Chairman Dave Laxen and Food Shelf Manager Joe Kabacinski distribute food to dozens of Teamster families each month.

Truly a "Team" effort, Teamster employers donate food and personal care products to the Food Shelf, which is also generously supported by Joint Council 32 and its affiliated Local unions and members. The Teamsters Food Shelf is the only labor-run food shelf in the state of Minnesota. We take pride in offering this service to our members who are in need.
