Every Meal: Fighting Child Hunger

You can be the reason a child eats on the weekend.

This Give to the Max Day, help provide weekend meals to Minnesota children experiencing food insecurity. Through our Weekend Meal Program, children in Pre-K through 8th grade receive nutritious, delicious, and relevant food discreetly in their backpacks at schools across the state. 

Your gift ensures these children receive the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Even better, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the peace of mind, focus in the classroom, and confidence you provide to children in your community. Make your gift today to help close the weekend food gap.

Watch the video below for a glimpse into the reality of child hunger, which impacts over 300,000 children in Minnesota.
