The MN Veterans Pantry is a community-supported fund founded on Veterans Day 2024. Contributions are made by people who want to help ensure that all veterans who are “food insecure” have access to free groceries provided by the Mpls VA Veterans Food Pantry. This is a confidential way for veterans to obtain food necessary to live comfortably and to connect them with other resources they may need. The MN Veterans Pantry will raise funds to pay for the food products that will be given out to veterans by the Mpls VA Veterans Food Pantry and/or other organizations helping to distribute food to our veterans in need.
