Will you be the reason a child eats on the weekend?
OUR MISSION
Fighting Child Hunger
More than 300,000 children in Minnesota live with food insecurity. At Every Meal, we’re on a mission to change that by filling the food gaps school-age children face, especially on the weekends. Through our Weekend Meal Program, we discreetly place bags full of nutritious, delicious, and relevant food directly into the backpacks of students across Minnesota – so they return to school on Mondays ready to learn and grow.
Hunger is here and exists in every school in Minnesota.
