Mission Statement
Fighting child hunger through partnering the community with schools, developing a network of weekend food programs throughout the Twin Cities, MN. We are closing the weekend food gap, when kids aren't in school to receive school meals. Commonly called a backpack program.
About This Cause
Over 200,000 children in Minnesota live in food insecurity. Over 100,000 of them live in the Twin Cities alone. Every Meal leverages community and school partnerships to fight child hunger by providing a weekend's supply of food to hungry children. Method: Every Meal facilitates a partnership between community organizations, such as churches, and schools. The church or organization sponsors a school, which encompasses investing in the relationship with the school and also paying for, packing, and distributing food directly to the children. Every Meal provides the logistical, sourcing, and organizational expertise necessary to execute the process of providing a weekend food supply. The goal of the partnerships is to feed hungry children while developing a lasting relationship between the community and the school. It is very important to provide kids with as much food as they are able to carry home in order to provide them with the nutrition they need to grow and learn. We have determined that the best range is approximately 4.5-5 lbs of food per bag.
