Welcome

Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless is the only charitable federation in Minnesota dedicated solely to alleviating hunger and homelessness. Founded in 1986, we have years of experience helping people meet life’s essential needs in communities across the state.

Our mission is to help hungry and homeless Minnesotans through grants to food and shelter providers and to raise awareness of the needs of people who are hungry and homeless.

We have been reviewed by the Charities Review Council and are proud to have met its Accountability Standards. Read our charity review report at the Charities Review Council website.
