Multiply Your Impact. Strengthen Our Community.

For more than 40 years, the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign has united communities across the state to fight hunger. Today, it is the largest grassroots food and fund drive in Minnesota, and CROSS Services proudly participates alongside food shelves statewide.

March 1 – April 6, CROSS Services joins this annual effort, led by the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches (GMCC), to strengthen support for local families facing food insecurity.

Why Your Gift in March Matters

Giving during the March Campaign does more than support food access today — it strengthens the safety net for neighbors navigating difficult seasons.

Your gift:

• Supports CROSS Services’ work locally, helping individuals and families access food and build stability

• Counts toward our total in the statewide Minnesota FoodShare campaign

• Increases the funding we receive back through the Minnesota FoodShare FoodFund

How the FoodFund Multiplies Impact

The FoodFund was created to strengthen food shelves by redistributing dollars based on what each community raises and the number of individuals served.

When our community gives generously, it unlocks additional funding that comes back to CROSS Services.

That means your March gift doesn’t just help once — it helps twice. It feeds families today and strengthens our ability to serve tomorrow.

Why Now

CROSS Services continues to serve families navigating rising food costs and ongoing economic pressure. March is one of the most important times of year to give, allowing us to maximize our participation in the Minnesota FoodShare campaign and strengthen support for the months ahead.

Every dollar donated:

• Stays local at CROSS Services

• Helps us purchase food at wholesale prices, stretching your gift further

• Increases the funding we receive through the FoodFund

Gifts made now through April 6 count toward our March Campaign total.
