Food shelf visits in Minnesota have surged to record levels.
This dramatic increase reflects the growing strain on households as food costs
remain high and critical safety-net programs face uncertainty. In recent years,
as changes and challenges to SNAP benefits and other federal supports
were debated and implemented, food shelves experienced ripple effects, with an
even greater number of neighbors turning to charitable food assistance to
fill widening gaps.
Hunger relief organizations are responding in real
time—stretching limited resources, expanding services, and working to meet
increased and more complex needs. You can turn your free time into meals for
the community by volunteering with a local Minnesota hunger relief partners!
Looking for opportunities that use bilingual skills? Want

filters—to find the volunteer opportunity that’s right for you and help support
neighbors during this critical time.
