“Be a Hero, Fight Hunger” is the motto for FoodShare March Campaign. Start planning ahead for the March Food Shelf Food Drive. Each March, Minnesota FoodShare directs the March Campaign, the largest food drive in the state, and restocks almost 300 food shelves across Minnesota. It recruits thousands of congregations, companies, schools and community groups to run local fund and food drives to aid in the effort. Minnesota FoodShare organizes a statewide media campaign to promote food shelf donations. It produces and distributes free promotional and educational resources for food drive organizers. It acts as a clearinghouse for cash donations and distributes these donations to Minnesota food shelves participating in the March campaign. Throughout the year, Minnesota FoodShare advocates on behalf of hungry families with state and federal lawmakers and educates the public about hunger in Minnesota. Every March our own fourth-graders collect food at school for this important food collection, too.
