Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Feeding Our Communities Partners (FOCP) has a mission to engage our community in solving youth hunger. We envision a community in which hunger is not a barrier to success and believe that feeding hungry students allows for active minds during the school day.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Feeding Our Communities Partners has a mission to engage our community in solving youth hunger. We envision a community in which hunger is not a barrier to success and believe that feeding hungry students allows for active minds during the school day.

  • FOCP fulfills its mission primarily through the work of five feeding programs: BackPack Food Program, Power Pack Program, Summer Pack Program, STOMP, and High School Pantry. Collectively, FOCP programs serve over 1,200 students each week within 7 school districts and 15 communities in the Greater Mankato Area. From July 2024 to June 2025, FOCP provided over 291,000 free meals to food-insecure students in our region. Our food packs include breakfast, lunch, and snacks for each day of the break, and are assembled by dedicated volunteers. These packs are transported to schools and discreetly distributed to enrolled children by teachers. During the summer and extended breaks, community volunteers deliver boxes of food directly to the doorsteps of enrolled youth.

    Expenses $575,186 · Grants $221,561

  • FOCP's hunger-relief programs serve students in grades K-12 who live in food-insecure households by providing child-friendly and nutritious food items to be consumed each day of the weekend, school break, and summer months. Additionally, FOCP secured grant dollars to create and install a Free Little Pantry for community food access. The Pantry was installed at the North Mankato Taylor Library and is accessible to all. FOCP also expanded food offerings available to community members through a Community Cupboard located onsite at FOCP. The Community Cupboard is stocked via community food donations and food recovery efforts.

    Expenses $191,729 · Grants $73,854

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
