Minnesota March Food Share

Updated: Apr 24, 2023

We need your help to fill the food shelf, in Duluth MN


Chum's food shelf

We wanted to take a moment to tell you about the importance of the Minnesota Food Share March Food Drive. This annual event is a statewide effort to help stock food shelves and to support hunger relief organizations throughout Minnesota. For more than 40 years, the March Food Drive has been a critical source of support for individuals and families in need. And we need your help.


The March Food Drive is organized by Minnesota FoodShare, a program of the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches. During this month-long event, individuals, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to donate food, funds, and volunteer hours to their local food shelves. Every dollar donated during the March Food Drive can be turned into three dollars of food.

The need for food has grown significantly over the past few years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people have lost their jobs or had their income reduced, making it difficult to put food on the table. According to Minnesota FoodShare, more than 1 in 10 Minnesotans are experiencing food insecurity, and that number is even higher for children and seniors.


We encourage everyone to get involved in the Minnesota Food Share March Food Drive in whatever way they can. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who are experiencing food insecurity. Thank you for your support!

Chum is “People of faith working together to provide basic necessities, foster stable lives, and organize for a just and compassionate community.” We provide emergency shelter, food and street outreach throughout Duluth.

 

Chum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit human services agency in Duluth, MN sponsored and governed by an interfaith coalition of 44 faith communities. Chum was founded in 1973 when 10 churches located in Duluth’s Central Hillside neighborhood pooled their resources to meet the needs of the neighborhood’s many low-income residents more effectively. Chum now offers emergency food, shelter, advocacy, support, and outreach throughout Duluth.

Chum is Duluth’s primary safety-net organization where people who are homeless or who have very low incomes can come for assistance and a welcoming, safe community. Chum operates Duluth’s largest food shelf and provides emergency shelter and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. We help people find housing and employment, access public benefits, and receive basic medical care. At Chum’s Drop-In Center (day shelter) people can pick up mail (both physical and e-mail), do their laundry, have a hot meal, socialize over games or conversations, and perhaps most importantly, find a warm and welcoming community where they can be safe, heard, and respected.
Chum is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
