One hundred percent of your donation will help provide meals to local families through Second Harvest Heartland.
Hunger in our region has grown since the pandemic took hold:
More than half a million Minnesotans, including nearly 200,000 Minnesota kids, are facing hunger right now.
• Every classroom, every faith group, every extended family is touched by hunger.
• The rates of food insecurity we’re seeing today are worse than before the pandemic, and families are feeling the pinch like they were in the worst of it last year.
Our food shelf partners are seeing 28% more visitors than before the pandemic took hold.
• Concerningly, seniors are the fastest growing segment of food shelf visitors.
Thanks to our sponsors Compeer Financial, Land O'Lakes, Lindus Contruction, Culligan Water, Minnesota Corn Growers Association, Minnesota Twins, Taste Kick Hunger Challenge, Tumble Fresh Coin Laundry, Caribou Coffee, CenturyLink, Culver’s and Dickey’s Barbecue Pit!
