Cart to Cupboard is a project of the Isanti County Commission on Aging (ICCOA), and we provide a variety of services that enable older and disabled adults in Isanti County to live independently in the home of their choice as long as possible.
Our first year of operation was a success, thanks to the Isanti County community members who support our mission. Based on your feedback, we made several changes to our services to better meet the needs of area seniors. We now provide services to seniors living anywhere in Isanti County. In addition to offering affordable delivery of groceries, frozen prepared meals, library and postal materials, and prescriptions, we also provide light housekeeping and chores in our bundled services, based on availability of volunteers.

Everyone knows a senior. Everyone should know Cart to Cupboard!

We had fun at the Isanti Rodeo Parade and the Isanti community picnic sponsored by Community Pride Bank in July. We had a great response at both events, and many community members got to learn more about Cart to Cupboard. Over 1,100 hot dogs were given away at the picnic as visitors enjoyed fun events, lunch, and conversation with local organizations. Click here to see some more pictures.
Congratulations to ICCOA board member Lewis Leasure on being named one of Isanti County's Outstanding Seniors for 2010. Lewis works diligently for many local causes and is a frequent visitor to the Cart to Cupboard office. He received his award on Senior Day at the Isanti County Fair along with this year's other recipient Gladys Shelley, and he now moves on to the state-wide selection round. Congrats Lewis, and thanks for your hard work!

Know of anyone looking for fun and meaningful volunteer opportunities? We have a variety of volunteer positions open and are looking for enthusiastic and committed volunteers.
