Feeding Our Communities Partners is a small nonprofit based in North Mankato, Minnesota, focused on addressing youth hunger in the greater Mankato area. It runs a suite of hunger-relief programs tied to different school levels and seasons: BackPack for elementary students, Power Pack for middle school students, Summer Pack for summer, STOMP delivering weekday meals to all youth under 18, and the High School Pantry for high school students. Collectively, these programs provide food access when it may be difficult to obtain otherwise, serving more than 1,200 students each week across 28 school buildings in six districts. Operating in the non-profit sector, the organization works to remove hunger as a barrier to learning and success for local youth. Its primary beneficiaries are students from elementary through high school, as well as other youth under 18 in the community. In October 2021, the organization partnered with Alliant Energy to distribute free food boxes.
