 Help us provide over 120,000 meals!
MARCH FOOD CAMPAIGN
It is time again for the March Food Campaign! Neighborhood House is joining with 260 organizations across Minnesota to raise a record 12 million pounds and dollars for the state’s food shelves.
Why 12 million pounds and dollars? Because food shelves across the state are experiencing a 25% increase in visits and seeing unprecedented numbers of first time visitors. The goal for Neighborhood House is 160,000 pounds and dollars during the March campaign alone. That’s equivalent to over 120,000 meals and over one-quarter of the amount of food we distribute in a year. Food shelf facts
All donations are welcome, but cash donations allow us to purchase more than four times as much food as you can buy at a store. Cash donations also allow us to balance our inventory to ensure that participants get a healthy variety of food. See how far your cash can go!
