MURC presents a check to Talia Miracle of

Thank you to MURC members and friends who, along with matching donations, have given more than $10,000 to-date!
Minneapolis University Rotary Club has made food insecurity a focus of our community service in 2022. In collaboration with The Food Group Minnesota, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we have established a Virtual Food Drive to support the Community Bridge Food Shelf and Simpson United Methodist Church Food Pantry in Minneapolis.
Food insecurity remains a huge problem today for Twin Cities communities. Studies show that one in nine people struggle with hunger in Minnesota; one in six kids go to bed hungry every night; and 1/3 of Minnesotans lack access to healthy foods.
The Food Group works in local communities to fight food insecurity and make nutritious foods available. Every $100 donated to the Virtual Food Drive provides food for a family of four for three nutritious meals a day for a week.
