Food Programs
We strive to move children, individual adults, and entire families towards a healthier future by providing them with the tools and stability necessary to improve their overall quality of life.
Food Shelf In A Box
Feeding the hungry is one of our primary objectives. Sadly, however, many families in need are unable to attend a regular food shelf program due to a lack of transportation and/or an inability to find daycare for their children. Our Food Shelf-In-A-Box offers a practical and innovative means for us to provide easy access to much-needed groceries and other important support services.
Food For Thought
Working together to alleviate student hunger, FOOD for THOUGHT is an on-campus pantry designed to serve the needs of hungry college students enrolled at Hennepin Technical College in Brooklyn Park campus and Eden Prairie campus and at Hamline University.
Food In the ‘Hood
Our goal is for each registered family to receive high quality essential grocery items, a delicious hot meal, health and nutritional support, advocacy, and a personal touch of kindness from our amazing team of difference-makers.
Food Quantity:
Eliminating local hunger by providing enough food and resources for individuals and families to move past the immediate crisis and to gain the stability of life and the capacity to focus toward a better future.
Food Quality:
Offering fresh food items, high level resources, culturally specific items, and customer choice is one of the ways we look to uphold human dignity.
Personal Opportunity:
We look to engage and strengthen our community and partners as valued stakeholders, volunteers, and as leaders using a “doing with” approach.
Healthy Community:
Working together for a common purpose fosters a deep sense of belonging and a valued community spirit. Each partnering host site acts as a community and as an ambassador of our kindness-based mission to bring help and inspire hope.
