Food Shelf Challenge Grant

Only one in six low-income children who ate a school lunch during the regular school year is reached by the federally funded Summer Nutrition Programs. Food shelves are pressured to respond to child hunger during the summer. Your donations in July will generate grants to help end hunger in your community.

PROP and Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless announce the fourth annual $150,000 Food Shelf Challenge Grant. The more funds a food shelf raises in July, means that our Open Your Heart grant will be larger. The grant helps to purchase fresh items like eggs, milk, and produce for our clients that are not normally donated. Consider making a gift of $500 by  July 31st, which can provide 25 families with a five-day supply of food.

Donate online at www.propfood.org/donate-online or stop by our office at 14700 Martin Drive, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
