The Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign brings together organizations, businesses, faith communities, and individuals to help keep 300 food shelves statewide stocked throughout the year.
Jessica Sund, Director of Development and Communication, for Channel One Regional Food Bank in Rochester, says the annual campaign helps stock shelves in the 14 counties they serve, including Goodhue, Wabasha, Olmsted and Winona counties.
Sund says the need for donations is more critical than ever.
Sund say giving food or cash donations to Channel One to distribute is great but people can also give to their local food shelves to support their community.
100% of donations received by Minnesota Foodshare during the March Campaign go into the FoodFund and are distributed to March Campaign participating food shelves, including the food shelves in Red Wing, Lake City and Wabasha.
