Sponsor the breakfast or host a table to help food shelves create efficient and effective operations infused with dignity
Each year generous donors support FFEN’s Reshaping Hunger Relief Breakfast.
This annual fundraising breakfast raises money to strengthen food shelves throughout Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.
We are asking for your support and your presence. Please save the date for May 15, 2025 to join with others who care about the way food shelves serve their communities.
“Supporting local communities continues to be a priority for our cooperative, which we incorporate into our hunger relief philanthropy. Partnering with FFEN, in particular, is a way to support the infrastructure and the network of food shelves in our home state of Minnesota.”
Amy Podlesak, Community Relations & Foundation Manager, Land O’Lakes

We are excited to welcome you to a new venue this May. Our former breakfast site, Number 12 Cider, has closed its doors.
This year, we are pleased to gather amidst the history of The Machine Shop in Northeast Minneapolis. The Pillsbury A-Mill was once the largest working mill in the world, and The Machine Shop site was an integral part of its success. The building once served as a location to produce and repair state-of-the-art, modern equipment. Today, with its 1916 architecture still intact, it serves as a private event space.
We welcome you to support the breakfast and join us for this exciting morning event!
