The March Minnesota FoodShare Campaign annually mobilizes 2,500 congregations, businesses, schools, and civic organizations to collect food and money to support the more than 300 food shelves who serve individuals and families with the food that they need.

Every dollar that is raised during the March Campaign is dedicated to purchasing food. When a food shelf uses a dollar to purchase food from a regional Second Harvest Food Bank, the quantity of food that they can access is amazing. In fact, the 9 million pounds of food and dollars that were collected in March 2007 resulted in more than 25 million pounds of food made available to families who came to the foodshelves in Minnesota --- that’s more than ½ of all of the food distributed throughout the entire year.
