Food Shelves Get an Assist

Summer is a difficult time for food shelves around Minnesota.  Donations drop off as busy people take advantage of warm weather and vacation season. 
But the needs of our least fortunate neighbors don’t go away just because everyone else is on holiday, so this week Minnesota Foodshare is writing checks to food shelves around the state to help them get through the summer. 
Sara Nelson-Pallmeyer is the Director of Minnesota Foodshare.  She talked with KFAI's Michael Fischbein, who asked how much money is being distributed to food shelves, and where does it come from?
