March Food & Fund Drive

Help us raise $300,000 and collect 100,000 lbs of food!

February 26 – April 6, 2024

Join VEAP as we participate in the annual Minnesota FoodShare Campaign, the largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state. This spring drive brings together various community organizations, businesses, and faith communities to help stock nearly 300 food shelves statewide, including VEAP.

VEAP has experienced an unprecedented need for pantry items due to ongoing inflationary pressures, and there are many items we cannot easily procure. Please consider organizing a drive with your workplace, neighborhood, or faith community around our latest list of most-needed items. Every pound of food counts! Please, donations of non-perishable, unexpired items only.

VEAP has received a $75,000 match from an anonymous group of donors for this spring drive! Every dollar donated will be doubled allowing us to create an even larger impact. $30 now feeds two individuals for an entire month. Make your matched gift now.

Looking for a tailored food drive poster or flyer customized for your group? Please email Becky Patton, Special Events Manager, at beckyp@veap.org
