Midwest Food Connection

DOUBLE your donation - help us reach our $2,500 match!

Another year of food education is in the books! During the 2023-24 school year, we taught: 

• About 4,300 students
• Over 600 lessons
• 27 schools

Midwest Food Connection teaches food education in schools across Minnesota. Using storytelling, art, music, cooking, gardening, and tasting, we get kids excited about eating healthy food. From tasting seaweed to planting seedlings to making salads using ingredients from school gardens, kids learn about how their food choices impact their bodies, communities, and the environment.

Securing funding from foundations, our primary source of funding, has been especially difficult this year. Because of this, contributions from individual donors are even more critical. Whether you can give $10, $50, $100, or more, your generous gift will support interactive, culturally relevant food education for children across the Twin Cities.

Plus, thanks to a $2,500 powered by generous donors, you can DOUBLE your donation for a limited time. Donate now to double your impact and ensure our important work in Minnesota schools can continue and grow!
