Minnesota's nearly 400 food shelves are on pace to record 5.1 million visits in 2022, according to preliminary data — the highest number in the state's history and far surpassing the record 3.8 million visits in 2020 when the pandemic first hit, spurring furloughs and layoffs. From Bemidji to Burnsville, food shelves are seeing a jump in the number of people in need, especially older adults and families seeking help for the first time.
