One of the holidays I remember most was the one in which my father became a single
parent to two teenage girls. We had just moved into a small apartment two days prior to
Christmas and he had no financial means for gifts. He was able to supply a holiday meal and
although we didn’t have family close by he invited others to share it with us. This was a
tradition he carried on well into our early adulthood. He’d often invite people who didn’t
have family, were in need of good company and a meal during the holiday season. I can say
that this wasn’t always comfortable for my sister and I, as two teenage girls, but it was a
tradition we grew to love and appreciate. During the holidays, you – like my father – inspire
my and countless others giving spirit. In fact, in this issue we’re featuring a woman who
was so inspired by the meals you helped us provide to her that she wanted to give back too.
Thank you for not only helping us provide holiday meals but for providing hope and
inspiration to the people we feed.
Have a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year!

We are...
The sole distributor of nationally and regionally donated food to nearly
180 charitable feeding programs including our region’s soup
kitchens, food shelves and shelters and approximately 44,000 people
in need. As a non-profit food bank our primary role is to provide food
to the front-line charitable agencies that offer meals to the hungry.
However, we do provide food directly to 3,300 people per month as
part of our own direct service programming.
Our Mission...
Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank’s mission is to feed
Northeastern Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin’s hungry by
rescuing and distributing food and engaging our region in the fight
against hunger.
Holiday Meals Inspire Participants to Give
“This year I’ll be 60 the day before Thanksgiving,”
wrote a woman to our food bank upon donating a
dollar during last year’s holiday season. “Even though
I can’t make my money last until the end of the month
I can pay for 5 meals. Five of us are gonna eat
turkey!”
She was a participant of our food shelf and someone
who had just received a turkey during our early
November distribution. From the small bits of
information we received in her letter we learned that
she wouldn’t be sharing her birthday, Thanksgiving or
other holiday meals with her family but that she was
excited to share what little she had to ensure others
would.
This fall at our food shelf and Mobile Pantry
Programs, we were able to provide nearly 800 regional
households with food for their holiday meals.
Turkeys, potatoes and fresh vegetables are just a
few of the items you helped us supply.
Your gifts not only ensure holiday meals for our
program participants but they provide such hope
and an overwhelming sense of gratitude that they are
inspired to give too. Throughout the year we hear of
children you help us feed as part of our BackPack
Program wanting to share their food with other kids
on the bus. We have families who receive food from
our food shelf and then ask how they can volunteer.
And seniors, like this wonderful woman, who offer
financial support in hopes of impacting others.
Your support ensures our feeding of over 44,000
people each year throughout NE Minnesota and NW
Wisconsin. Although the holidays are an especially
important time, your gifts have impact all year long
providing as many as 4.3 million meals to our grateful
Northland residents in need.
Whether it’s $1, $5, $25 or $100, all donations matter and
all donations have impact.
“Thank you from all of us,” she said. “I would probably
end up going hungry if it weren’t for food shelves and
soup kitchens. Now I’ll have leftovers and soup for the
next several meals.”
If you’d like to help us feed Northland families, children
and seniors into the New Year please consider a financial
gift today or volunteer. For more information contact us
