Fill the CHUM Food Shelf This March!

The Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign begins on March 1st and runs until April 30th.

The Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign brings together Minnesota organizations, schools, businesses, and places of worship to help keep 300 food shelves statewide stocked throughout the year. The March Campaign is the largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state, having raised $8 million dollars and 5.1 million pounds of food in 2019.

We envision a Minnesota where all residents have access to healthy food and no one suffers from hunger. The March Campaign addresses those issues directly, and we'd love to have you join the fight against hunger. By increasing awareness and advocating for long-term solutions to hunger in our communities, together we can meet the needs of those who need it most.

Our goal for March 2020, is to exceed our 2019 campaign results of $130,000 and 50,000 pounds of food to stock our shelves, and we can achieve that success in this campaign with your help.

So what do we need most? Money or food? We need both! But the CHUM Food Shelf can do much more with money. As a member of Second Harvest Food Bank, our money goes much farther than it would shopping at Super One or Cub Foods. Each $1 donated buys $7 worth of food-that's seven times more!!!

Let's get creative, have fun, and raise funds and food! We can't do this alone!
