As we look back on 2019, we are so grateful for the incredible year of growth and success that we've had and it's all because of YOU. For the second year in a row, we served over 1 million meals, achieving that mark two months earlier than 2018. Our HUB initiative continues to grow exponentially, allowing smaller organizations to obtain healthy food for their programs. Our food rescue program captured 1.6 million pounds of leftover food from cafeterias, businesses, and schools. We harvested over 12,000 pounds of produce from our farms, providing over 70,000 farm-to-table meals.
You are the reason those amazing milestones were accomplished.
Whether you donated your time or your money, you made a huge impact on hungry Minnesotans and allowed more people to receive meals served with kindness and respect.
Looking forward, the coming year brings more opportunities to serve fresh and healthy meals to those in need. Proposed changes to SNAP Benefits could mean more people will come to us in search of a meal.
We live in challenging times, but Loaves & Fishes can meet those challenges through your generosity. You can donate directly by using the donation button below. We’re also on the lookout for people to donate their time. If you would like to volunteer, please visit our website or contact our Lonny Evans our Director of Volunteering at 952-223-7223.
