Every Meal: Fighting Child Hunger

Since 2010, EVERY MEAL has been working to FIGHT CHILD HUNGER in our community by FILLING THE GAPS to food access that children face during WEEKENDS, SUMMERS, AND EXTENDED BREAKS. 

Over 300,000 Minnesota children live with food insecurity

The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed more families into food insecurity, resulting in one of the highest rates of child hunger in Minnesota in decades. This has made one thing clear for us - the need is great

WE ARE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Through our multiple food gap programs, we provide children with a consistent and reliable source of nutrition when they don’t have access to meal programs at school. The risk of hunger is very real during weekends, summers, and extended breaks, and this risk has increased during the pandemic when schools switch to distance learning or need to quarantine students.

The 2021-2022 school year is our biggest year yet. We’ve grown from serving one school in Northeast Minneapolis in 2010 to providing food at over 537 locations throughout Minnesota, with more schools signing up to participate in our Weekend Food Program every week.

But we can’t keep going without you! To add more schools and sites where children and families can easily access food, we need more funds to purchase more food. These funds also equip our new partners with the logistical and operational resources to provide our meal bags to children and families.

Donate today!

By giving today, you’ll be part of the solution. Our food is reaching families who need it most. In whatever circumstance families find themselves struggling to put food on the table, Every Meal will be there to ensure every child gets every meal.
