Catholic Charities Bureau, Diocese of Superior is a partner who understands how their generosity can leverage that of others. They are a long-time supporter of Second Harvest Northland, contributing to our mission to end hunger in NE Minnesota and NW Wisconsin by offering a matching gift.

For the past six years, they’ve provided a $15,000 matching gift to our Minnesota’s Day of Giving program, doubling the impact of individual donations made to this campaign each November. This year, they have generously increased that match to $20,000! 

“We hope this match inspires others to give, knowing that every contribution can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing hunger,” Executive Director Alan shares. “At Catholic Charities Bureau, our mission is to improve the human condition, and ensuring our neighbors have access to food is a vital part of that commitment. Together, we can bring hope, dignity, and nourishment to those who need it most.” 

If you’d like to leverage more meals, consider making a donation to our Minnesota’s Day of Giving campaign between November 1 and November 19.

David and Judith have generously supported our work for more than 20 years. Since retiring, David volunteers by sorting, repacking, and delivering food, while Judith volunteers at a local food shelf we support. Their unique perspective has inspired a transformational $50,000 matching gift, which they hope will encourage fellow volunteers to contribute to our Nourish the Northland Capital Campaign.

 “We both grew up in families where we didn’t have to worry about our next meal,” Judith shares. “It gives us comfort to see how appreciative families are when they can choose fresh foods like eggs and milk provided by Second Harvest.” David shares he’s already seeing the benefits of our new facility. “The merger required a larger distribution center to support the 15-county region. The new volunteer center now allows multiple groups to work on different projects at the same time, which means more food gets out the door even faster.” David and Judith are especially excited about the market (grocery-style food shelf) currently under construction, which will provide even more choice and dignity for local families.

We hope their generosity inspires you to consider your own transformational gift. In addition to David and Judith’s volunteer match, all individual gifts are being matched up to $500,000 by Royal and Karen Alworth, and all corporate gifts are being matched up to $500,000 by Super One Foods and the Miner family.
