Who We Are
Our Mission is to Reshape the Minnesota Hunger Relief System.
What We Do
Foundation for Essential Needs (FFEN) plays a unique role in the hunger-relief system, transforming food shelf spaces and operations to meet the evolving needs of each local community. FFEN strengthens food shelves from the inside out, building up their operating capacity through custom solutions that amplify their reach and enhance their services. We provide professional development, data-driven tools, and skilled volunteers to create tangible and sustainable change for communities facing food insecurity. FFEN seeks to achieve improvements in the quantity and quality of food available and the experience of accessing food resources. Since 2013, FFEN has partnered with over 200 food shelves across the state of Minnesota and we anticipate that number growing in the year ahead. Learn more about FFEN at www.ffen.org
