Spent some time volunteering at the Neighborhood House in Saint Paul this morning as we announced $5 million to fight food insecurity.   In Minnesota, we care for our neighbors - and we’re making sure they have what they need this holiday season.

As the holidays approach, we’re reminded of the struggles our neighbors face with food insecurity.   Programs like SNAP are a vital safety net for many. That’s why this week, I’m participating in the SNAP Challenge, eating on the average benefit of $5.16 per day. (1/4)

How are you feeling after Day 1 of the SNAP Challenge? Each day, as you prepare for the challenge, what thoughts and feelings have emerged about your food-insecure neighbors? 📣 Be sure to share your experiences using #StepUpForSNAP.

.The Food Group plays a vital role in Minnesota, connecting families in need with affordable, healthy food. I was grateful to join their meal pack before the holidays - when coming together to support Minnesotans facing food insecurity feels more important than ever.

"When you’re looking to maximize $5.16 per day, you have to make trade-offs. There are times where you might be forced to choose cheaper calories, not because it’s your first choice, but because economically, it’s smart." #MNLeg #StepUpForSNAP startribune.com/last-year-near…
