The Food Group

The Food Group The Food Group is a local hunger relief nonprofit focused on healthy food access.

We provide nutritious food and support services to over 150 hunger relief partners, including food shelves, on-site meal programs, mobile food shelf sites, and Fare For All sites throughout the state. Food shelf and on-site meal program partners receive free donations from The Food Group and supplement what isn’t donated by purchasing basic staples at or below wholesale cost through our bulk purch

asing program. Through partnership with subsidized housing buildings, our mobile food shelf program brings food directly to the homes of residents experiencing transportation barriers. The Fare For All program offers healthy food at affordable prices to help individuals stretch their budgets. Through our innovative group of partners and direct programs we work to provide good foods in the good fight against hunger.

We are in awe of our community! Because of you, we met our Give to the Max Day match goal of $100,000.

We're so grateful to our match partners — Manitou Fund, Tony Flygare Memorial Fund, Alice & Larry Greenbaum and our anonymous individual matching donors — for their incredible generosity. We also loved hosting 112 volunteers at our New Hope warehouse for Pack to the Max, where you helped pack 13,545 pounds of food to support our programs. That's the equivalent of 11,287 meals!

Thank you for believing in our mission. We don't take it for granted.
