Residents “Stack the Semi” to Help Plymouth Food Shelf

2:53 PM | Thursday, June 11, 2020

Community members who lost jobs and need food won’t go hungry thanks to a local community group. We Are Wayzata Strong, a group of west metro neighbors, friends and students from the Wayzata High School Y.E.S. Program, hosted a “Stack the Semi” food drive on Thursday.

The group aimed to supply the food shelves run by Interfaith Outreach and Community Partners (IOC) in Plymouth, as well as Frogtown in St. Paul. 

Organizers said demand for food continues to increase because COVID-19 has created job loss or reduction in pay for many families.

“Our goal is to #STACKTHESEMI in honor of our front-line community members, educators, school district staff and our 2020 graduates for their tireless work,” said Dan Schmidt, a member of We Are Wayzata Strong. 

In just one hour of the food drive, the group loaded 5 pallets of donations in the truck. The goal was to fill the truck up with 25 pallets. 

“I think most of us are relatively fortunate in the community but there’s a lot of people in need right now and we just want to help,” said Jason Luedtke, a member of We Are Wayzata Strong.

Here is a list of the most needed items: 

  • Toilet Paper
  • Canned meat or fish
  • Dish/Laundry Soap 
  • Paper Towels 
  • Cereal 
  • Healthy Snacks 
  • Cooking Oil
  • Diapers, Size 5 & 6 
  • Hearty Soups
  • Coffee and Tea 
  • Canned fruits and vegetables 
  • Rice and Pasta
