As we work to live out our core action of giving back, this month Blaze is hosting in a food drive to support Minnesotans in need. From now until March 22, members will be able to drop off non-perishable food items at all Blaze branches during open lobby hours.
These past few years have been difficult for many families and individuals, with food insecurity rising significantly. By serving as a food collection site, Blaze is helping to provide relief to families struggling with rising food costs and supply chain issues. The goal of the food drive is help support the one in five Minnesotans who struggle with food insecurity, including 26% of the state’s households with children1. Blaze is proud to partner with the Salvation Army Northern Division and other local organizations on this initiative.
Donations will be collected through March 22. The most in demand items include canned chicken/tuna, oil, pasta noodles, rice, peanut butter, cereal, honey, and coffee.
