We are deeply grateful for your partnership during this time of increased need. Executive director, Sophia Lenarz-Coy, shares more about the critical ways you are providing emergency meals and nutritious food to those who most need them. 

With the combined crises of COVID-19 and the unrest following the killing of George Floyd, the need is greater than ever. Our neighbors continue to experience multiple barriers to food access. 

If you’ve recently made a donation for COVID-19 Emergency Relief and Rapid Response following the unrest- we can’t thank you enough.

Thank you for lifting our community up during an extremely difficult time. 

We are also sharing a June 19 Star Tribune story, Minneapolis pop-up food shelves transition to meet neighborhoods’ needs after Floyd death. Sophia shares her observations about how our community is coming together to feed each other. 

Donations to the COVID-19 Emergency Fund and Rapid Response Fund are still urgently needed. You can give online or mail a check payable to The Food Group, to 8501 54th Ave N, New Hope, MN 55428.

The Food Group is a food bank that supplies other hunger relief agencies with fresh produce, frozen meat, grocery staples, and other household necessities. Food shelves distribute free food to individuals and families in their local communities.

The Food Group believes in food equity. They believe in culturally specific foods. They believe in meeting people where they are at. And most of all, they believe in dignity.
