It now serves the communities of Hopkins, Minnetonka, Excelsior, Shorewood, Deephaven, Greenwood and Woodland. Although ICA is primarily a food shelf, it does have some financial resources to help with housing and other bills.

Feed My Starving Children
Feed My Starving Childrenis a Christian nonprofit organization who believes Jesus Christ has called us to feed the hungry and serve those in need. At an FMSC packing site, volunteers scoop various dry grain powders into plastic bags, and then heat seal them. When the bags reach their destination at almost any region on the globe, and are opened by a hungry child, and mixed with clean water, they become a nutritious meal. Faith Church supports FMSC financially, and we have also sent groups to an FMSC packing depot nearby in Chanhassen, MN.
