 The Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign brings together various Minnesota organizations, 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 $8.2 million dollars and 5.2 million pounds of food in 2016, the most successful campaign in our 34 year history.
Your contribution makes a difference. Neighborhood House receives additional funds from Minnesota FoodShare based on the amount of food and donations raised in the month of March.
To donate to the Mitzvah Food Shelf,
click here and choose "Helping Those in Need" and then "Mitzvah Food Shelf." Or drop off food donations at Mount Zion in the bin in the main lobby.
