Food Shelves Getting Money


Nearly 300 food shelves around Minnesota will be getting a nice boost this week.

Minnesota FoodShare is sharing a record $900-thousand build up within its food fund.

Director Sara Nelson-Pallmeyer says it helps agencies at a time when donations are general slow, but demand continues.

There were more than 3 million visits to food shelves statewide in 2010, up 62 percent from just two years before.
