The 2024 MN FoodShare March Campaign is currently underway and runs through April 6th. It's a great opportunity to donate food and funds to support the NEAR Food Shelf. 

WHAT IS THE MN FOODSHARE MARCH CAMPAIGN?
Feb. 26th - April 6th

GMCC’s Minnesota FoodShare began its work in 1982 as a campaign advanced by congregations to restock food shelves in the 7-county Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The effort was so successful, and the need so evident, March Campaign became a statewide initiative just one year later and is now in its 43rd year. MN FoodShare March Campaign, the largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state, brings together organizations, businesses, faith communities, and individuals to help stock and support the capacity of nearly 300 food shelves.

How can you support this initiative?
