Dear Friends,
Itâs hard to believe that there are families who live in our prosperous city are having trouble feeding their families. But itâs true. Right here in Minnesota, statistics tell us that 1 in 10 adults and 1 of 7 children experience food insecurity. Iâm sure youâll agree that these statistics are disappointing.
We can do something about this.
Iâd like you to be a part of a really special event thatâs coming up. Each spring, Neighborhood House (a St. Paul organization that helps families move from just surviving to truly thriving) is involved in the March Food Drive, a statewide campaign through Minnesota Food Share. Last year, Neighborhood House was able to raise over $175,000/pounds of food for families who participate in our program and this year our goal is even bigger.
You can help by making a donation on this page, every $36 feeds a family fresh healthy food and produce for a week
- Money goes three to four times further than food donations, since Neighborhood House purchases food in bulk. It takes just $36 to feed a family of four for a week.
You can also help by hosting a food drive of your own (weâll help you figure out how to do it).
Thanks for considering participating in this event. I know we can make a difference in helping bridge the food gap in Minnesota. You can see more information about Neighborhood House and the March Food Drive at www.neighb.org
