March MN FoodShare Campaign A Huge Success
On behalf of the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf Action Group, I want to extend a HUGE THANKS for making this year’s March MN FoodShare campaign a HUGE success. Through your generosity, we donated 2518 pounds (that’s over a ton!!) of non-perishable items and $12,770! Thank you for your giving to help our neighbors who struggle with food insecurity. Blessings to you all this Easter season.
