Feeding Area Children Together

Feeding Area Children Together (FACT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2017 by Madison Elementary school parents to reduce childhood hunger in central Minnesota. Based in St. Cloud, FACT operates a predominantly volunteer-driven program serving K-8 students across three school districts—St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids/Rice, and Sartell/St. Stephen—through three initiatives: FACT Packs (weekend and holiday food backpacks), FACT Pantries (emergency food shelves in schools), and FACT Break Boxes (food for extended school breaks). Funded entirely by individual donations, organizations, and local businesses, FACT provides nutritious, allergy-safe meals to students experiencing food insecurity at no cost.
