In 2009, there were close to 3 million visits to Mn Food Shelves and food shelf usage continues to climb. Mn Food Shelves distributed over 60 million pounds of food in 209. Food Shelf usage is at an all time high.
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.
