The Salvation Army’s annual Meals 4 Minnesota Food Drive is happening right now. Your help will provide relief for local families without enough food to eat.
One in five Minnesota households struggles with food insecurity and visits food shelves for support, and two-thirds of U.S. households report living paycheck-to-paycheck. Food from a Salvation Army food pantry can help make ends meet.
Now through March 27, online donations will have twice the impact thanks to a $100,000 challenge match given by a Minnesota family foundation to encourage others to give. You can also support the food drive by dropping off nonperishable foods at your local Salvation Army in Minnesota, or at Twin Cities metro area Blaze Credit Union and Warners’ Stellian locations.
You can help by rounding up your
purchase when you shop at Cub stores.
The team at WCCO-TV is partnering with us for “Meals 4 Minnesota” – a campaign to support this year’s Salvation Army’s food drive. Tune in to WCCO’s programming throughout the month of March to see how your donations are making a difference in the lives of Minnesota families in need.
Your Donations Help People Like Teri
Teri is a typical suburban mother who never thought her family would need The Salvation Army’s help. Her mindset changed after she was diagnosed with cancer. Soon, bills began to pile up.
During these difficult times, Teri and her family relied on your gifts get them through. Every week, they came to The Salvation Army for a large box filled with meat, fruit, vegetables, bread, and other nutritious foods.
“Being able to not worry about food is nice when there are so many other bills to think about,” Teri said. “I’m so thankful The Salvation Army is here.”
Thanks to your gifts, Teri and her family received added hope throughout her battle.
Together we can provide more meals for our neighbors in need.
Volunteering with The Salvation Army makes a difference in your community and the lives of those around you. Opportunities include unloading vehicles, sorting and weighing food, packing food boxes, stocking shelves, and so much more.
