This past Thanksgiving 2,700 people flooded the halls of the Mall of America all for the same reason: to end hunger. The annual Walk to End Hunger brings together 12 organizations that work to fight hunger and is a family-friendly event that promotes helping others.
This year a total of $295,071 was raised, so thank you to everyone who walked or donated! One big highlight of this year was the increase in the number of general fund registrations and the number of general fund donations from 2015. The general fund is the money that is split between the 12 organizations. The organizations that were involved in the Walk to End Hunger were:
- Hunger Solutions
- ICA Foodshelf
- Keystone Community Services
- Loaves & Fishes
- The Aliveness Project
- Meals on Wheels
- Minnesota FoodShare
- Neighbors, Inc.
- Second Harvest Heartland
- The Food Group
- The Salvation Army
- VEAP
