This summer, with your help, we’re gearing up to serve over 500 local families through Operation Sandwich, a Bridges of Hope program that ensures kids have access to nourishing meals even when school is not in session.

​

Last summer, Operation Sandwich helped 513 households, distributing over 43,000 lunches across the Brainerd, Pillager, Pequot Lakes, and Pine River school districts. That impact was only possible thanks to generous community support, and this year, your gift can go even further.

​

Double Your Impact

Thanks to a generous $50,000 matching gift from Katie and Biff Ulm, owners of Zaiser’s and Nice Enough, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar. That means every $1 you give provides twice the meals and twice the hope for families in our community.​​

Thank you for being part of this important work. Together, we’re making sure no child goes hungry and proving that Better Times Begin Here.
