As Minnesota food shelf visits continue at a rapid pace and grocery prices remain stubbornly high, the need for creative, effective hunger relief has never been greater. On Thursday, May 14th, we invite you to join fellow supporters of the Foundation for Essential Needs (FFEN) for our annual breakfast — a morning to connect, be inspired, and invest in work that is changing what food access looks like across our state.
You’ll hear directly from food shelf leaders about how FFEN’s data-informed approaches are helping communities move beyond emergency response toward equitable, dignified access to fresh, familiar foods.
This free event is your opportunity to go deeper — to understand the challenges food shelves are navigating right now, and to be part of the solution. As food shelves work harder, your support helps ensure they have the training, tools, and guidance they need to serve their communities well.
We hope to see you at the table on May 14th. And if you can’t join us in person, please consider making a gift. Either way, you’re helping make sure no food shelf has to navigate this moment alone.
