Our strategic plan was created at a seminal moment as communities across NE Minnesota and NW Wisconsin began to emerge from the pandemic. Our last few years have highlighted that hunger is not something that happens someplace else. It happens next door and around the corner — affecting our family, friends, and communities in deep and unimaginable ways. Yet, the pandemic has also shown us that we have the capacity and care to come together to see each other through.
