Feeding Families in Need
In Central Minnesota

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.

Pardon our mess…. It’s a work in progress, and will take a few weeks to get things done
Front lobby:
*carpet gone and so is the broken tile
*two small walls gone
We will update floors, change a couple doorways, refresh the walls.
Kitchen area:
*tile is gone
*cupboards are gone
*sink is gone
*overhead microwave is gone
We will update floors, put in a multi person handwashing sink, and refresh the walls.
There’s more work/ projects happening in the next few months and we will be excited to show off the renovations. So stay tuned..
We are fortunate to have received a couple grants that are supporting these renovations.
Shout of thanks to Todd and Tracy Linbo and Jake Lewis for taking the shutters off the outside of building, cleaning the windows and removing the kitchen cupboards.
Thanks to Tim Wagner, Jeff Olson, and Terry Hansen for taking out tile, carpet, bricks, walls, etc. Tim really went above and beyond.
We are excited to have Danny Goerges in December to put everything back together. And to have Northland Spray Foam come in And insulate the warehouse.
