The Eyota Food Pantry and Thrift on Front serve the Eyota, Minnesota area by providing a place where people may give or receive food, clothing, and nurturing with kindness and grace. Both the food pantry and thrift store are open and staffed by volunteers during Front and Center's open hours.
Eyota Food Pantry volunteers welcome our neighbors and assist them, receive food deliveries and donations, sort and stock shelves, clean up, and other tasks required.
Thrift on Front generates funding for the food pantry. Volunteers assist customers by offering good customer service and answering questions about the store merchandise while building relationships. Volunteers handle transactions, keep the store clean, decorate for the holidays or special events, sort donations and give receipts, price and tag items and stock the store.

Mission Statement
Front and Center is a place where people may give or receive food, clothing, and nurturing with kindness and grace.
Description
Front and Center Ministries, Inc. is located at 111 Center Avenue South, on the corner of Front Street and Center Avenue in downtown Eyota, Minnesota. Front and Center, Inc., currently includes the Eyota Food Pantry and Thrift on Front. The Eyota Food Pantry was the vision and Silver Award Project of local Girl Scouts in 2017, with the goal of expanding services and resources to those facing food insecurities. Due to significant community need, the Girl Scouts could no longer maintain the high demand for the food pantry, thus in 2020 a group of Eyota clergy and community members formed the non-profit Front and Center, Inc.
Front and Center, Inc. is volunteer driven, providing food to low income households while maintaining an inclusive and safe place for all participants, and offers clothing and household items that are donated by the community to the thrift store, Thrift on Front. All proceeds from Thrift on Front support the Eyota Food Pantry operations.Front and Center partners with the Channel One Regional Food Bank and participates in the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) to provide food to any participant in need. We distribute 10-15,000 lbs. of food monthly in over 300 household visits.
