Working side by side with local partners, we increase access to underutilized government food programs that provide nutritious food for Minnesota infants and children in childcare, school, and neighborhood settings.
Since 2015, we have connected hungry kids to nutritious meals and helped young families access healthy foods. Children should thrive, and only be hungry to learn and reach their potential.
