March Campaign

You are here: Home / March Campaign

Thank you for a successful 2023
March Campaign!!

We surpassed ALL of our goals because of your support

 

For March Campaign 2023, we set an audacious goal of raising $230,000 and collecting 200,000 pounds of food. Thanks to our community’s widespread support from Feb 28-April 9, we ended March Campaign 2023 with $253,227 and 212,057 lbs. of food!

The generous donations provided during March Campaign 2023 will go directly towards enhancing and expanding programs to reach more people and continue providing equitable food support to individuals and families across Dakota County. In the last couple months we have already been able to implement the following:

  • A new on-site, drive-thru distribution that Open Door clients can sign up for ON TOP of their Eagan Pantry appointment, doubling the ability to obtain food support each month.
  • Garden at Home Kits for our Garden to Table Program. These kits will provide Open Door clients everything they need to create a raised garden bed in their own yard; perfect for those in communities where larger, community gardens are not an option.
  • Increased Eagan Pantry Appointments every week by 66, an 18% increase, simply due to the larger pantry shopping space in our new building!

With such an impactful start to the year, we can’t wait to see where the rest of 2023 takes us, and we can’t wait to share it all with you! If you missed out on donating during March Campaign 2023, but would still like to support The Open Door and hunger relief in Dakota County, click the button below.
