Double Your Impact This Holiday Season

Kids receiving our food are so grateful. Your gift this holiday season helps provide kids facing food insecurity with food bags full of good food each weekend. Can you donate today so that we can continue to remove food access barriers for kids on the weekend?

Your donation through December 31 will go twice as far! We’ve met our $100,000 match from Thrivent, but a group of our faith-based sponsors below have come together to offer an additional $89,000 match. Your donation this holiday season can continue to have double the impact thanks to Awaken Community (St. Paul), Mill City Church (Minneapolis), Woodridge Church (Long Lake), Hope Community Church Downtown (Minneapolis), Wooddale Church (Eden Prairie), and Beautiful Savior Lutheran (Plymouth).

Feed kids like Maya’s

As a newly single mom starting over after a domestic violence situation, Maya* and her three kids needed a little help. Getting connected with our Weekend Meal Program has helped her growing kids remain nourished on the weekends while she manages a tight budget as she moves forward. Your donation today means we can continue to feed Maya’s kids and the many others who face food insecurity on the weekends. Plus your donation today will be matched through December 31st, doubling your impact.

As the social worker at Maya’s kids’ school explains, kids who are hungry on weekends are more likely to have “attendance issues (either not coming at all, coming in tardy, or many absences due to illness), less engagement at school, and negative impact on academic success like grades.”
