The Food Group is a local nonprofit focused on using nutritious food to strengthen community. We work at the intersection of food access, equity, and nutrition issues related to food and hunger in 32 counties in Minnesota and Wisconsin. We break down barriers to growing good food locally and getting good food to those who need it most.
Video: Mission Moment
Through Mission Moments, we share how staff, volunteers, and supporters become connected to our work. Nearly 100,00 meals were provided to families around the Twin Cities thanks to The Food Group’s partnership with local congregations of the Latter-Day Saints. Watch the video to see more and learn about coordinating your own food and cash drive.
