Hunger-Free Minnesota's Eight Initiatives

One of the unique aspects of the Hunger-Free Minnesota campaign is that it is built around a business plan. The campaign is focused on eight data-driven initiatives that measure success by the number of additional meals delivered.

Partnering with The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), a global leader in providing strategic and operational solutions to corporate and not-for-profit organizations, Hunger-Free Minnesota determined there were sufficient strategies and food to provide an additional 100 million meals annually and sustainably for Minnesota's 600,000+ food-insecure residents. 

Each of the eight initiatives advances one of the Hunger-Free Minnesota campaign's goals:

• To increase the amount of food available through the emergency food system (food banks, food shelves and meal programs) by 50 million meals;
• To add 30 million meals through increased enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP);
• To add 20 million meals by increasing enrollment in and/or use of public nutrition programs for children and families.
