2020 March Campaign
Every March, together with area faith communities and organizations, Interfaith Action collects food items, select non-food items, and financial donations for our Department of Indian Work food shelf. All funds raised during March are matched by Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign.
In March, Mississippi Food Market donates a portion of funds raised to our Department of Indian Work, and the American Indian Family Center collects food for us in the center’s lobby.
Stretch Your Donation
- Our food shelf can stretch cash donations further than food donations because we can purchase food at greatly reduced costs through community organizations.
