Taking Action Against Hunger in Our Hometown
We believe everyone should have access to a nourishing meal, and together with our nonprofit partners we’re working to make that a reality.
Hunger in Minnesota
For many, having a warm meal is not always a given. Second Harvest Heartland, one of the nation’s largest food banks that serves Minnesota and western Wisconsin, recorded 6.5 million visits to its food program partners last year — underpinning the need in our community.
On a mission to end hunger together
We believe every individual, family and community should be food secure and free from hunger. Together, with our nonprofit partners, we’re at work every day to ensure those in need have reliable and equitable access to food. In Minnesota, one of our longest-standing partners, Second Harvest Heartland, is helping to advance this mission.
General Mills’ support of Second Harvest Heartland dates back to 1984 when the company donated 100,000 pounds of food to the St. Paul Food Bank. The St. Paul Food Bank and the Minneapolis Food Bank later merged in 2001 to become Second Harvest Heartland as it is today. Nearly 40 years later, General Mills continues to be one of the organization’s top corporate giving partners.
