At a time when individuals and households throughout Minnesota are experiencing hardships in numbers never seen before, the Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless Foundation is working hard to ensure their funding reaches those in need in every corner of the state.
In their most recent funding cycle, Open Your Heart funding will enable the purchase of new equipment for the expansion of The Humanity Alliance’s onsite Soup Stock program in Victoria. These soup stations provide immediate access to healthy food across seven counties. Essential kitchen tools for this expansion include stock pots, warming plates and utensils that support safe, efficient food distribution.
Since 1986, the Open Your Heart Foundation has ensured that emergency shelters, food shelves and domestic violence shelters throughout Minnesota have the tools, equipment and infrastructure necessary to best serve those in need.
Open Your Heart awards funds every three months and provides emergency support within days during a crisis. They support programs in communities where many traditional funders do not reach — food shelves, domestic violence shelters and homeless programs in small communities and sparsely served remote corners of the state. Through this direct support, Open Your Heart helps these organizations provide safe and dignified environments for people experiencing food and housing insecurity across Minnesota.
