March is a magical month at the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf.So magical in fact that it has been extended 8 days!
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the food shelf during this magical month where a portion of all donations, both food and financial, are matched by the Minnesota Food Share March Campaign.
We have received tremendous support from our local church partners, businesses, civic groups, and individuals this month. If you have not had a change to give- it's not too late!
We are about $5,000 shy of our goal- can you help us get there? Any gift made between now and April 8th will qualify for the March Campaign match.
Please consider supporting your local food shelf today and make a difference for local families struggling to make ends meet.

#LargestKIDPackDrive
Thank you to everyone who volunteers, donated, and support Birch Elementary's KID Pack Drive. Because of you, over 4500 pounds of KID Pack items were donated to support local families struggling with food insecurity.
A thank you to the White Bear Lake Educational Foundation for matching the drive with a $2,500 donation.
All donations made toward the KID Pack Drive qualify for a match by the Minnesota Food Share.
