On Wednesday, Governor Walz announced $5.5 million in new funding for Minnesota food shelves. 50 percent of funds will go toward food from Minnesota producers and processers, supporting the local agricultural community.
*"No family should be faced with a decision to either put food on the table or pay the bills. That’s why Minnesota has taken major strides to eliminate hunger, from investments in universal school meals to millions in funding for food shelves and agriculture support,"* said Governor Walz. *"With this funding, we’re relieving a strain on family pocketbooks and ensuring a stable supply of healthy food to meet Minnesotans’ needs."*
