Northeast Minneapolis Community Rallies to Give Back During Time of Need
Food Drive Collects More Than 600 Pounds of Donations for Little Kitchen Food Shelf to support neighbors in need through the holiday season
Minneapolis, MN – November 21at, 2025
While SNAP benefits are no longer at immediate risk, Minnesota food shelves are still feeling the strain. Pantries across the state continue to seek support in meeting the needs of the community, particularly during the holiday months. This December Northeast Minneapolis community rallied to support The Little Kitchen, a local food shelf serving neighbors in need.
Lead by Northeast based Linnihan Foy Advertising, and together with neighboring condos, apartment buildings and businesses, a total of 601.4 pounds of food and household goods were collected.
“This joint effort demonstrated how local action can make a meaningful difference for neighbors facing food insecurity when it matters most,” said Sean Foy, president of Linnihan Foy. “We saw an opportunity to expand our agency food drive to better support the community we have called home for nearly three decades.”
The food drive ran through the month of November and invited participation from neighbors throughout the area. Significant contributions came from tenants and visitors in the Bank’s Building, Calumet Lofts, Gibson Apartments, and the Linnihan Foy team itself.
Items collected included everything from toilet paper and diapers to rice, canned vegetables and fruits, cereals, personal hygiene products and more. The massive amount of goods filled a total of two cargo vans.
“This year we have seen record breaking numbers of visitors to our food shelf, and we are currently serving approximately 1,000 individuals per month,” said Little Kitchen’s manager, Lynn Mena. “With this generous donation, we anticipate we will be able to support 100 more individuals during this holiday season.”
Little Kitchen Food Shelf is a no-boundaries, no-restrictions food shelf serving Northeast Minneapolis and beyond. Founded in 2007 by Grace Lutheran Church, Little Kitchen is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is committed to serve all people, regardless of income or zip code.
“Linnihan Foy has been proud to call Northeast Minneapolis home,” said Foy, President. “This food drive was a chance for us to give back alongside our neighbors, and the response was incredible. The generosity we saw speaks volumes about the strength and spirit of this community.”
Linnihan Foy extends its sincere thanks to Little Kitchen Food Shelf and to everyone who contributed to making the drive a success. Together, the neighborhood helped ensure vital resources reach those who need them most.
