FFEN - Foundation for Essential Needs

Yesterday, we gathered around the breakfast table believing that food matters — that it connects us — and FFEN supporters showed up in a big way. Together, we exceeded our $32,500 match and raised over $90,000 to ensure food shelves have the data, support, and trusted partnership they need to offer every community member fresh, culturally connected food with choice and dignity.

FFEN's services continue to be offered at NO COST to food shelves across Minnesota and western Wisconsin — and that's because of people who genuinely believe in this work. Thank you for your support!

Thank you to our coffee conversationalists for sharing the hard work happening in hunger relief and how their connection to FFEN is bettering food shelf service to their communities: Ethan Neal, Director of Partner Operations at Second Harvest Heartland, Sharon Abel, Executive Director of Groveland Emergency Food Shelf and Cindy Favre, Director of St. Peter Area Food Shelf

This event wouldn't have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Land O'Lakes, Inc., Faegre Drinker and Sovran, Inc.
