Featured Campaign

50th ANNIVERSARY CAMPAIGN TO STRENGTHEN OUR FUTURE IMPACT

For 50 years, The Food Group (formerly Emergency FoodShelf Network) has worked to fight hunger and advance food justice. As we mark this milestone, we invite you to help us retire the mortgage on our New Hope, MN facility. Eliminating this debt will unlock vital resources to deepen our community impact for the next 50 years. Will you consider joining us and help fuel the next chapter of our work?
