Minnesota is stepping up BIG for our veterans! Gov. Tim Walz just signed an executive order launching a statewide Veteran Food Pantry Network — in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs and the DAV Department of Minnesota . This critical initiative will connect 280K+ vets, service members, and families to food resources, tackling the 13% food insecurity rate among VA-enrolled veterans. We’re proud to support this mission.
