Chick-Fil-A donates 400 sandwiches to Harbor Light
Roseville, Minn. – Hundreds of people at Minnesota’s largest homeless shelter will enjoy a special meal tonight, thanks to The Chick-Fil-A in Coon Rapids. The store is donating 400 sandwiches to the Harbor Light Center in Minneapolis on March 31.
The sandwiches will be delivered to The Harbor Light Center at 1010 Currie Ave. in Minneapolis at 4 p.m. today.
“This is such a fun gift for the people we serve,” said Captain Katherine Clausell, leader of The Harbor Light Center. “We feed hundreds of guests each day and do our best to provide a tasty, nutritious meal. But it’s not often that we can provide a real treat like these sandwiches donated by Chick-Fil-A.”
The donation comes on the final day of Minnesota FoodShare Month. March provides an opportunity for the public to support local food shelves with financial donations to help them restock.
The Twin Cities Salvation Army serves over 1,200 hot meals each day, including more than 620 per day at The Harbor Light Center. Salvation Army food shelves provide groceries for 102,000 people in the metro area each year.
