March Campaign

Be one of Hallie’s Heroes. Fight Hunger.

Support Hallie Q. Brown Community Center in the March Campaign against hunger!

Drop off donations Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, at 270 North Kent Street, Saint Paul.

March 1st – April 11th, 2021

About the March Campaign:

Each March, thousands of Minnesotans throughout the state collaborate to raise food and funds for their local food shelves and Minnesota FoodShare. Join individuals, businesses and corporations, schools, community organizations, and faith communities in helping Minnesota’s nearly 300 food shelves support over 3 million annual visits. Each dollar and pound donated is matched, and every dollar raised goes directly to food shelves to purchase food for the hungry.

Why focus on hunger? 

  • After years of steadily declining food insecurity rates, it was projected that food insecurity in Minnesota in 2020, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, could rise to 13%.
  • In 2020, 9% of Minnesotans had incomes below the poverty line ($25,926) for a family of four.
  • Minnesota’s food shelves, food banks, and meal programs continue to run at capacity, with the COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbating this.
