Feeding Families in Need

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
$2.10
Feeding a child breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an entire month is only
$31
Our communities need us.
Let’s feed our neighbors.
The Brainerd Lakes Outreach Program is a compassionate humanitarian organization dedicated to providing essential food assistance.
We have an unwavering mission of feeding our Minnesota neighbors. Located in the Brainerd Lakes area (Nisswa), our vision is that 80-90% of the meals we package will be distributed within a 60-80 mile radius of Nisswa. The remaining 10-20% can be distributed to greater Minnesota, used for disaster relief and/or distributed internationally.
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.

Brainerd High School to the rescue!
These amazing young adults came and chipped away at snow and ice that had formed from our back door,
causing water to come under the door and into the warehouse.
Thank you so much BHS!

Another community partner that we work with: Operation Sandwich.
Today, our driver Tom went to Aldi for a grocery pickup utilizing our box truck.
Operation Sandwich is distributing this week for Brainerd and Pillager School district.
Great job Tom Wryk.
