Operation Metro Surge left more than 76,000 people in Minneapolis food insecure, according to the city. A Minnesota food justice nonprofit and a Spanish-speaking Minneapolis church partnered to deliver food to families afraid to leave home. Within 24 hours of launching an online request form they had requests from 20,000 families, and by March 2026 they had delivered more than 100,000 pounds of food to 30,000 immigrant families.
