Make Hunger History Summit

Thank You for an Impactful Second Annual Make Hunger History Summit

On February 27, 2026, more than 450 hunger-relief and human services leaders gathered to connect with peers from across the state, hear from knowledgeable speakers, talk about the current state of hunger in Minnesota, and explore ways to find more collaborative, lasting solutions.

2026 Highlights

“The things that you learn and the shared experiences from other people involved in food insecurity and food support is invaluable. This is something I’ve looked forward to for months.” – Jenifer Loon, PROP Food Shelf

“To me, this is really rejuvenating to be around people who are doing similar work and to just slow down a little bit when our day-to-day is very fast paced. This is a very well-organized, very thoughtful, very relaxing day.” - Karin Onarheim, Boynton Health

“With hunger relief, we all have the same goal, but we all do it differently. I love it from a networking perspective, meeting my peers, learning about what they’re doing. I’ve met people I’ve had conference calls with, and it’s great putting a face with a name. The sessions are great, learning about different ways that we can manage our food shelves. It’s always a good time.” - Al Farha, Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners
