Our Impact on Hunger
Hunger impacts nearly every aspect of life and livelihood. Second Harvest Heartland won’t stop working until every hungry person in Minnesota and western Wisconsin has the food they need to thrive.
A strong safety net for our community
Job loss. Medical bills. A shrinking pension check. Just not enough money and food to go around.
When families face problems like these, we’re the safety net they can depend on to keep food on the table. We’re working with other hunger relief partners to find new solutions to keep the safety net strong year after year. Together last year we served 523,000 people and helped provide them with 81 million meals.
Stabilizing hungry families
What is the impact of having enough food? Food stability means being able to live fully as a productive parent, employee or student, being able to focus on your quality of life without worrying about how to feed yourself or your family.
Strengthening the hunger relief system
Second Harvest Heartland works with 1,000 partnering food shelves, food pantries and other meal programs. We create new partnerships with schools, hospitals and clinics to broaden and deepen our reach across our service area.
