Welcome to Bill's Pantry!
Bill's Pantry, Inc., is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to meeting the nutritional needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS in the Twin Cities.



 

Our clients have told us that breakfast is their most important meal of the day, the meal that helps them digest their first round of medications.

Clients receive a weekly grocery list from which to choose items they like to prepare for themselves.

Bill's distributes primarily breakfast food items to an average of 45 Twin Cities families every week who consider Bill’s Pantry to be a lifeline for healthy food. Four members of Knox Presbyterian Church serve on the Bill's Pantry Board of Directors.

We encourage members to pick up their orders on Saturday mornings. For those who cannot, we have delivery to some areas of metro Minneapolis/St. Paul.

A Letter to Bill's Pantry Clients
How You Can Help

Some items that our clients rarely receive are cooking oil, sugar, coffee, and jellies/jams. Contributions are always welcomed!

In addition, we are always in need of brown grocery bags with handles. These can be dropped off any Saturday morning at: Dayton Avenue Presbyterian Church, 217 Mackubin Street in St. Paul.

A SPECIAL THANKS
Bill's Pantry would like to extend a special thanks to A Piece of Cake Bakery and Great Harvest Bread Company -- both on Selby Avenue -- for their continued support by providing weekly sweets and breads. Our clients greatly appreciate their generosity.

Stop by these fine establishments sometime to thank them -- and purchase some goodies!
  • A million thanks to Macalester Plymouth United Church (St. Paul) for raising money, so we can get a new double door commercial freezer and a whole bunch of Rubbermaid tubs for the cereal.
  • Crossroads Church of Cottage Grove has truly been a blessing for Bill's Pantry. They consistently send volunteers and drivers. (Thank your driver when you get your delivery. They've come a long way!) Adrienne especially appreciated the post-construction clean-up crew.
  • A big thank you to both Crossroads and Macalester Plymouth Churches for adding us to their annual budgets.
  • A special thanks to Barb Osthus for her special connections that help Bill's Pantry.
  • A Very Special Thank You to St. Andrews Lutheran Church for generously donating Easter Food Baskets each year!
