MN FoodShare March Campaign

March 1-31

Minnesota FoodShare’s March Campaign is the largest annual food and fund drive in the state. It is the only time of the year your contribution will leverage additional dollars.

This year, the goal of the IOCP Food Shelf is to collect 60,000 lbs. of food and $60,000 during the campaign.

Between March 1 and 31, you, your group, or your organization can collect food and funds on behalf of our food shelf. Drop off donations Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at IOCP, 1605 County Road 101 N.

Donation Creation

In partnership with The Mosaic Company Foundation, IOCP invites businesses, schools, churches, and other groups to organize a food drive and create a food sculpture out of the donated items. The Mosaic Foundation will match each pound of donated food with a $1 donation to the IOCP Food Shelf up to $20,000. The more items you collect, the more IOCP raises for the March Campaign. Learn more.

Cash Donation

For every $1 donated, IOCP can purchase $9 worth of food. Make a financial donation and select “Food Shelf” from the dropdown menu, or write a check to “IOCP Food Shelf” and mail to IOCP, MN FoodShare Campaign, 1605 County Road 101 N, Plymouth MN 55447.

IOCP also leverages cash donations to its food shelf through the Feinstein Foundation challenge. To qualify, funds must be received between March 1 and April 30 (write “Food Shelf” on memo line).
