About this campaign
Proceeds from the t-shirts will support House of Charity's Food Centre. The Food Centre, located at 714 Park Avenue, serves free meals to the public
365 days a year and is the only free lunch program in Minneapolis that is open seven
days a week.
On average, 11,500 meals
are served each month, with daily public participation of 350 people (on
average). Breakfast is served every
weekday to women, children, and men with children. Lunch is served every day to anyone who walks
through our doors, no questions asked.
Some people find out about other House of
Charity programs through the Food Centre, and end up securing housing, case
management and/or treatment because they came for a meal. In 2015, ourFood Centre provided 130,827 meals to those in need.
A strong relationship with Second Harvest Food Bank and a new
connection to General Mills have provided the Food Centre with access to large
quantities of fresh food. Recently,
General Mills donated nearly 1,000 pounds of cubed beef - a versatile food item
that we used to create many meals. Staff
members have been successful at securing donated food from a variety of other
sources as well, always finding creative ways to incorporate the donations into
tasty and nutritious meals. These
donations, combined with the work of nearly 2,000 volunteers each year (who
donate about 4,000 hours of their time), keeps the cost of each meal low, an
average of 50 cents per meal served.
