Blue Ribbon logo

March 26, 2008, CEAP was recognized as a Blue Ribbon Food Shelf by Hunger Solutions Minnesota. This designation was created as a way to recognize food shelves that offer excellent service to the community and this status is not easily attainable. This award means that when donations are given, our community can trust that their donation is being used effectively and efficiently and also be confident that when someone uses our food shelf, they are treated with dignity and respect.
