Basic Needs Food Market Silent Auction

It’s an exciting time at Basic Needs (BN), founded in 1996 and formerly known as the Stone Soup Thrift Shop. On September 12, 2023, we launched the BN Food Market, a fresh take on a traditional food pantry. Now those in need can partake of a walk-in, welcoming, dignity-based, choice-focused food market, including well-stocked grocery staples, a consistent supply of fresh fruits and vegetables, and an anonymity and convenience-based shopping experience designed for clients hesitant to engage with the hunger relief sector.

YOU and your generosity enable us to do our work. This auction is occurring along side our Annual Spaghetti Fundraiser Dinner that is Friday, November 10, 2023, from 5 - 8 p.m. at Tinucci's in Newport, Minnesota. The auction ends on November 12.

Basic Needs (BN) combats food insecurity with a walk-in, welcoming, dignity-based, choice-focused food market, 4,100 sq. ft. facility, including well-stocked grocery staples, a consistent supply of fresh fruits and vegetables, and an anonymity and convenience-based shopping experience designed for clients hesitant to engage with the hunger relief sector.
