Mission Statement

Fight child hunger through community and school partnerships.

Description

In 2013, Every Meal wondered how they could reach other children in the Twin Cities who live with food insecurity. They saw the need for developing a larger growth strategy and what emerged is their network model of weekend food programs. That fall, Every Meal incorporated as a separate non-profit organization and launched pilot programs in three additional schools in Minneapolis reaching a total of 500 children in five schools. The pilot programs were successful and the team implemented a full launch.

Since then, Every Meal has grown from serving one school with a weekend food program to implementing multiple food gap programs serving over 10,000 children across 500 locations... and counting.

Every Meal continues to see incredible growth in its impact on child hunger in the Twin Cities and across Minnesota. With its strong school and community partnerships, Every Meal continues its work with the community to grow and reach more children - see an updated map of all of our programs here: https://www.everymeal.org/what-we-do/where-we-work/

As we look back at our history and look forward to the future, we are struck by the fact that food insecurity is a problem throughout the state and is not a one- or two-school issue. More than 300,000 children in Minnesota live in food insecurity. Our mission is to fight child hunger by developing more partnerships between the community and schools.
