Each March, FoodShare directs the largest food drive in
the state (known as the March Campaign) and restocks more
than 260 food shelves across Minnesota. It recruits thousands
of congregations, corporations, schools and civic groups to run
local food and fund drives to aid in the effort.
|
How We Do It:
Minnesota FoodShare organizes a statewide media campaign
to promote food shelf donations. It produces and distributes
free promotional and educational resources for food drive
organizers. It acts as a clearinghouse for all cash donations
and distributes the funds to participating Minnesota food
shelves. Throughout the year, FoodShare advocates on behalf
of hungry Minnesota families with both state and federal
lawmakers and educates the public about hunger in Minnesota.
