Name:
McLeod Emergency Foof Shelf MN FoodShare March Campaign
Date:
February 24, 2017 - April 3, 2017
Event Description:
The MN FoodShare March Campaign has traditionally been the years largest collection of financial and food support for MEFS. In 2016 a combination of over 104,500 dollars and pounds were collected – the categories were split pretty evenly between the two! Food donations allow us to continue in our mission of providing food support and financial support allows the opportunity to purchase foods to fill in the gaps and meet our obligations in maintaining our facilities. Participating in the campaign between February 24, 2017 and April 2, 2017 allows MEFS to be eligible for additional grant funding. An additional $2500.00 was granted in 2016! MEFS will continue to competitively track donations by city to see which municipality can spur the most in donations. MEFS tracks all donations as they come in and gives “bragging rights” to the city raising the most support! All donations must be received by 1 PM, Monday April 3, 2017!
