GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - Twin Cities-based food companies, nonprofits and faith-based groups are teaming up to discuss whether they can find a way to end hunger.
General Mills, Cargill and Land O'Lakes are joining the United Way and a partnership of hunger relief agencies for a forum Tuesday evening at General Mills headquarters in Golden Valley. Participants in a panel discussion will discuss how business and nonprofits can work together to address the problem.
The United Way says the number of families using food shelves is up more than 40 percent in the Twin Cities in the first six months of 2009.
Tuesday night's forum is open to the public.
