Central MN Sexual Assault Center
Sexual assault can happen to anyone, anywhere; regardless of age, ethnicity, economic status, lifestyle, religion, culture, sexual orientation, or gender.
Central MN Sexual Assault Center (CMSAC) is a 24-hour crisis intervention agency providing direct services to people affected by any form of sexual violence. The Center’s purpose is to offer non-judgmental, confidential, free, direct services to victims of sexual assault, their partners, families, coworkers, and friends.
CMSAC also works to prevent sexual assault in our communities and in society at large by re-defining power to promote equality between all people, non-violence, cooperation, and mutual interdependence.
CMSAC promotes and supports true equality and access to decision-making for all people; inclusion; and consensus and accountability of leadership in order to transform harmful societal norms about sexual violence.

OUR MISSION
To engage the youth of Central Minnesota to feed hungry people both locally and globally.
WHO WE ARE
Kids Fighting Hunger is a volunteer-driven effort to package and distribute humanitarian relief in communities worldwide where there is immediate need. Every person can make a difference in the fight against national and global hunger. Kids Fighting Hunger has been created to give people in Central Minnesota an opportunity to have a hands–on part in the packaging process. We host, work with, and empower volunteer groups – such as schools, sports teams, churches, businesses, and scouting troops – to package our food and prepare it for distribution to areas of the world where crisis has struck and food is in short supply.
HOW WE STARTED
The Kids Fighting Hunger program began March 1st, 2003 as Kids Against Hunger of Central Minnesota. A small locally based satellite of its parent organization, Feeding Children International. We are our own 501(c)(3) and operate independently of FCI. Before long, the idea of kids helping other kids to combat hunger grew in popularity. As a result, more than 20,000 volunteers have packaged over 15 million meals since opening on March 1st, 2003!
Kids Fighting Hunger not only nourishes hungry children, but the spirit of its volunteers, Each week, as volunteers package hundreds of much-need food servings, they also get a chance to talk, share, laugh and reconnect with one another through the program. More importantly, through their packaging efforts. volunteers learn and reaffirm the importance of looking beyond themselves and towards serving the needs of others.
