BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — As the holidays come up and cold weather sets in, it's more important than ever to make sure food is on the table.
Second Harvest Heartland is helping metro area residents in need through their food shelf in Brooklyn Park. The nonprofit launched "Make Hunger History," which aims to cut hunger in half by 2030 for Minnesotans.
To meet this goal, Second Harvest Heartland is requesting community members to volunteer at their local food shelf, petition elected officials to make hunger a priority, and financially donate if they have the ability.
Allison O'Toole, the CEO of Second Harvest Heartland, visited KARE 11 News at Noon to share more about this goal.
