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.

Something different and unique is happening this Saturday at Outreach.

Our new tenant, The Good Village Co. is hosting an event on the property.

Lauren is the owner of Good Village and she moved into our back space in June.

We hope our followers will stop by and check out the market, pop inside to see our winter remodel (if you haven’t seen it yet).

Tenant rent helps us with overhead costs. Win=win having Good Village as part of our property.
