A huge thank-you to the incredible team from Microsoft for volunteering their time to serve meals to our guests at Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Did you know the meals served here are made possible through Food Rescue efforts? Each year, we rescue millions of wholesome food destined for landfills. Our staff captures food from large chains such as Amazon, Reichel Foods, Target, Cub, Walmart, and Starbucks, to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, local stores, eateries, farms, manufacturers, distributors, schools, and beyond. By partnering with local businesses, we reclaim perfectly good food that might otherwise go to waste and turn it into delicious, nutritious meals for our community.
Together, we’re reducing food waste and nourishing lives. Thank you for being part of this mission!

Today, the Kemp Family joined us at our Minneapolis Commissary Kitchen, showcasing how volunteering can be a family affair! Together, they helped prepare nutritious meals for our community.

King of Kings is a reoccurring team that volunteers at St. Matthews in St. Paul. At the end of the year, they host a Winter Wear Drive, handing out coats, hats, gloves, and more to our guests.
Imagine walking miles in Minnesota's freezing temperatures, unsure how to stay warm and where your next meal will come from. King of Kings provides a crucial sense of security to people across our community.
Minnesota winters are no joke—and neither is the kindness of the King of Kings team at St. Matthew’s in St. Paul.
We are grateful for their partnership!

A Huge Thank You to RBC Wealth Management!
Yesterday, the incredible team from RBC Wealth Management rolled up their sleeves and got to work in our commissary kitchen! They spent the day cutting turkey, a task that will save our Site Coordinators SO much time as they prepare to serve FREE meals at our Community Meal Sites.
Our dedicated volunteers are the heart of our mission, making it possible to serve nutritious, delicious meals to our community with care and efficiency.

Wow, we’re blown away. 🧡 Thanks to everyone who ran, walked, donated, and cheered us on at the Fight For Food 5K—together, you raised an incredible $4,750!
Your donation will fund 2,375 meals across Minnesota!
You didn’t just show up for a 5K; you showed up for our mission, for the people we serve, and for a brighter, more nourished future. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

We got to give the Journey For Good Foundation team at MSP a tour of our Kasota warehouse.
Journey For Good Foundation’s mission is to fight poverty with food, shelter, education, and workforce development opportunities. We are grateful to partner with an organization that shares our vision of a world where all people have access to their basic needs so they can thrive independently and within the community.
Thank you Journey For Good for taking the time to visit, for asking questions, and for remaining committed to serving those in need.

Just last week, we heard from Jeff, one of our guests, who shared his story. After a surprise medical bill, Jeff found himself struggling to feed his two kids. “I never imagined I’d need help,” he told us. “But when I drove away from your meal site, I felt a sense of relief for the first time in months.”
The need continues to grow, and families like Jeff's are relying on us more than ever.
