Corporate Partnership Opportunities
Corporate Partnerships That Feed Children and Strengthen Communities
Every Meal is Minnesota’s largest nonprofit that provides food directly to kids experiencing food insecurity.
We exist to close the weekend food gap, and we can’t do it without partners like you.
More than 300,000 children in Minnesota experience food insecurity.
Every Child. Every Meal.
Every Friday during the school year volunteers place a bag of food directly into kids’ backpacks. For some kids at those schools, that bag is often the only food they have until Monday morning.
Corporate partners play a unique role in helping us reach more children, respond to growing needs, and build a stronger future for Minnesota families.
