The Outreach Program of Brainerd Lakes

The Outreach Program of Brainerd Lakes is a nonprofit humanitarian food aid organization based in Nisswa, Minnesota, dedicated to feeding families and enriching lives in central Minnesota and beyond. Founded originally as Kids Against Hunger Brainerd Lakes to address childhood hunger internationally, the organization rebranded in 2019 to expand its mission and focus on food insecurity both locally and globally. The organization packages nutritious meals entirely with volunteer assistance, distributing 80-90% of meals within a 60-80 mile radius of Nisswa, with the remaining 10-20% used for disaster relief and international needs.
