The Open Door

A fresh approach to ending local hunger through access to healthy food

[The Open Door @opendoormn]

These numbers show that our work isn’t done.

But these numbers also show that we are closer than we have ever been to meeting the need in our community and across Minnesota.

Thank you to @jessvanb from the @StarTribune for reporting this story.

If you opened your copy of the @StarTribune's Sunday edition, you would have seen this article on the front page. We're glad the work we and so many other organizations are doing in hunger relief is getting the headline coverage it needs.

It also reflects our increased ability to reach those who have struggled for too long. Every time we create an opportunity to get help, the line gets shorter… but there is still a line.

[The Open Door @opendoormn]

The Open Door has dramatically expanded its services in the past two years. We've created over 1,300 new monthly opportunities for families to access fresh, healthy food. It's important to understand that this reflects not only new need.

[The Open Door @opendoormn]

Just like the food shelves mentioned in this article, The Open Door has seen an increase in the number of people we’re serving. That’s due just as much to the incredible generosity of our community as it is to new demand for our services.
