Support Food Shelf Transformation
Donations to FFEN allow us to continue our work of supporting Minnesota food shelves. Your gift will be carefully stewarded to ensure a more equitable and sustainable food system state-wide.
Our family believes it is our obligation to give back to support our community. FFEN has a unique mission and place in the delivery of food to those in need in Minnesota, and we support FFEN because they provide critical and much needed technical and economic resources to community food shelves — improving their efficiency and long-term stability. We believe this is where FFEN makes a true difference."

Your generous contributions support a strong and stable food shelf system for all Minnesota communities. Our powerful approach is to invest in local food shelf equipment and space improvements while providing a FFEN volunteer consultant to support implementation of business and service best practices. This paired approach increases healthy food access and food shelf sustainability.
