Every week during the school year, hundreds of volunteers place Every Meal food bags in children’s backpacks as part of our Weekend Meal Program. These volunteers have a hands-on, direct impact on children living with food insecurity by consistently and reliably distributing food every week at our partner schools throughout Minnesota.
