Emergency Foodshelf Network’s Baskets of Hope program allows families facing hunger the chance to gather around the table and enjoy the holiday as a family. Food can provide a sense of normalcy even in the worst of times.
Every $30 collected provides a holiday meal, including a turkey or ham and all the fixings, for a family up to 8, so they can create their own memories.

The Goal
EFN’s goal is to provide 5,000 families with holiday meals. That’s approximately 35,000 thankful individuals making memories because of your support.
How Your Support Helps
Your donation helps cover the cost of food, warehousing, assembling the packages, and distributing the baskets. EFN secures the nutritious food at best possible price by purchasing in bulk. Volunteers package the frozen and nonperishable items at EFN’s warehouse. EFN then distributes these baskets to its food shelf partners who provide food to families in Twin Cities neighborhoods. Your financial support is one part of a community effort to bring holiday meals to our neighbors.
