Pack the Porches 2025!

PACK THE PORCHES FOOD AND FUND DRIVE RECEIVED OVER
6,000 POUNDS OF FOOD AND MORE THAN $21,000

Our 15th Annual Pack the Porches Food and Fund Drive, held on March 28th, 2025, was a HUGE success! Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we made a significant impact on fighting hunger in the St. Cloud area.
Event Highlights:
- Food Collected: A remarkable 6,437 pounds of nonperishable food items were collected!
- Total Dollar Amount Raised: A total of $21,291 was raised to help our neighbors gain food security!
- Generous Match: Coborn’s matched all food and fund donations up to $15,000!
By donating to Catholic Charities your contributions not only stayed local but also counted towards a statewide effort to stock the shelves of every food shelf in Minnesota. The more we raised locally, the greater our share of the statewide campaign, helping us reach even more individuals and families in need.
Several businesses across the St. Cloud area also hosted Pack the Porches food and fund drives, leading up to today’s event, with some continuing throughout the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign, which ends April 6.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this year's Pack the Porches event. Special thanks to our drop-off location partners: Pioneer Place on Fifth, St. Cloud Financial Credit Union, and St. Cloud Hyundai. We also deeply appreciate Coborn’s for their generous match, which significantly boosted our fundraising efforts.
Even though Pack the Porches has concluded, the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign continues until April 6th. You can still bring nonperishable items to Catholic Charities Food Shelf and donate funds in person or online.
Thank you to all those who supported Pack the Porches food and fund drive and Catholic Charities Emergency Services Food Shelf!
