The suburbs lead the state of Minnesota in the number of missed meals during the summer. The greatest opportunity to fight hunger is by delivering meals to students during those months. Last year, staff and volunteers delivered nearly 25,000 meals and 11,000 snack packs across 5 Dakota County School Districts, to 27 neighborhoods, five days a week!
As of Aug. 23, the 2024 Mobile Lunchbox season has ended in all districts. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!
