Feeding Families in Need

Fundraising Events

We have the power to create an impact, one meal at a time.

In the U.S., more than 1 in 6 children don’t know where their next meal is coming from and often go to bed hungry. No child, regardless of age, should be worried about hunger.

The cost per meal to feed
a family of 6 is only

$1.80

Feeding a child breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an entire month is only

$30

Our communities need us.

Let’s end hunger, one donation at a time.

The Brainerd Lakes Outreach Program is a compassionate humanitarian organization dedicated to providing essential food assistance.

Our unwavering mission is feeding families and enriching lives.  Located in the Brainerd Lakes area, 80-90% of the meals we package will be distributed right here in Minnesota. The remaining 10-20% will be used for disaster relief and/or international distribution.

meals packed since 2012

We package 10 different meals that are nutrient dense, including protein, vitamins, and minerals. They only require 3-8 cups of boiling water, and each packet contains 6 servings.

Our Little Black Dress fundraiser last week was fantastic.

Thank you Brad and Lori with Party Time Rental for providing all of the amazing “stuff” for the event.

Linens, charger plates, photo backdrop, and much much more.

So very thankful for our partners that help us raise money to feed families in need.

We will be traveling to Lakeville this weekend for a BIG remote meal packing event.

We will be working hand and hand with Lakeville Lions - Lakeville, MN and Lakeville Rotary Club - Lakeville, MN

Over 58,000 meals will be packed and distributed to area food shelves.

The timing of this meal packing event is critical. Food shelves will be picking up the packed meals immediately after they’ve been packed.

Thank you Lakeville Lions and Lakeville Rotary for being committed to helping feed your neighbor.
