If You Need Food Today
If you need food today, both locations of our Today’s Harvest Market are open 6 days a week. You can come as often as needed to the Today’s Harvest Market.
Drive-up Service
Our Drive-up Service works particularly well for:
- Folks that have mobility issues but still drive. You don’t have to get out of your car, just make sure there is space in your trunk before you come.
- Adults that have their kids along. Kids are absolutely welcome in the Today’s Harvest market, but it can be a busy crowded place and there can be a long wait to get in at certain times of the day.
- Folks that don’t mind not choosing their own food. Food in the Drive-Up program is pre-boxed or bagged.
Our Drive-Up Service is by appointment and is open on Thursdays and Friday. This program provides fresh produce (e.g. potatoes, onions, carrots, and apples are common items), meat, milk, eggs or cheese, and a few non-perishable food items.
- Appointments are required beginning January 1, 2025. As part of making an appointment, you will complete a registration process. You can schedule an appointment at opencupboard.org/appointment.
- No documentation is needed.
- You will be asked for your income as part of the registration process, but we will serve you regardless of your income.
- You will be asked for your address, but we are open to anyone in need of food, regardless of where you live.
- You receive pre-packed fresh food (Today’s Harvest allows you to choose your own food if this is an issue).

How can I schedule an appointment if I do not have internet or an email?
- In order to create an account, you do need to provide an email address. If you do not have an email address or reliable access to the internet, you can call 651-300-5040 to schedule an appointment.
What if I have no transportation?
- If there is no one else that can pick up for you, within a 10 mile radius of Open Cupboard you can request a delivery. Food is delivered one time per month and replaces a visit for Drive-up Service. More information is here.
- If you live in a senior center, Landfall, or Cimarron, check our list of mobile food shelves to see if you can receive food right where you live.
