Shortly after picking her daughter Jade, 7, up from school, Janice swings by the food shelf. Providing her family with healthy food is “everything,” she shares. Her daughter, a first grader who loves math, also receives breakfast and lunch at school.
With the high cost of living, the extra support helps, as Janice isn’t always able to buy the food, they need from the grocery store. Janice works her customer service job from home, which makes it easier to cook for her family of four. Their favorite meal is tacos, and she looks forward to loading up the dish with the vegetables and meat she receives from the food shelf.
Thanks to your generosity, we’re able to supply NE Minnesota and NW Wisconsin’s 60 area food shelves with enough food for 8.2 million meals annually, including fresh produce, dairy and meat so neighbors like Janice can access healthy and nutritious food for their family. “It really helps, I love it,” she shares
