The Virtual Walk to End Hunger

Hunger Solutions Minnesota works to end hunger in our state. We take action to assure food security for all Minnesotans by supporting programs and agencies that provide food to those in need, advancing sound public policy, and guiding grassroots advocacy.

Loaves and Fishes serves free, healthy meals to Minnesotans in areas where the need is greatest. We offer a variety of meal programs at more than 90 outlets including: public dining, street outreach, student meals and snacks, free produce markets, and a new HUB program for small organizations. We grow fresh produce at our own local farm and gardens and rescue leftover, nutritious food from schools, organizations and businesses. We are always guided by our vision that all people, regardless of socioeconomic, cultural, religious or ethnic background, deserve to meet their basic needs for food, dignity and respect. We served a record-breaking one million meals in 2018 and expect to serve 1.3 million healthy meals to food insecure Minnesotans in 2019.
