They left their jobs during the pandemic to fight hunger in Minnesota

Created: July 14, 2021 06:14 PM The number of people who need help finding healthy meals remains high this summer. That s why 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS is Feeding Minnesota. And now, the Cargill Foundation is stepping up to match donations to Minnesota Central Kitchen. Minnesota Central Kitchen brings together restaurants, caterers and hunger-fighting organizations to tackle hunger and service-sector layoffs brought on by the pandemic. More than 100 organizations, from Second Harvest Heartland to commercial kitchens, food donors and meal distributors, are working together to feed Minnesotans. And so we started doing that during the pandemic, to use rescued food and to re-employ, and we will continue doing it after, Robin Manthie the director of Minnesota Central Kitchen, said. Because what we found is there s a great need for these comforting meals that are prepared and ready to go. And so we re planning to grow even coming out of the pandemic.

“We relied on our client base and sent out emails and said, hey, we will deliver a cool meal for you, whether it s for four or six or eight or 10. This is the menu. Order it, and we will drive it to your house and drop it off,” Dorwart said. “But it’s not what we do, right? Like we like to cater at events. We like to bring people amazing food to their weddings and their corporate events.”  Dorwart said a $187,000 personal Paycheck Protection Program loan helped keep things going. But in June, the money ran out.  He had to furlough 39 employees that month, some of whom he’d worked with for a decade or more.
