The Outreach Program of Brainerd Lakes

In the early years, the focus was on packing for international food aid to countries such as Haiti, Syria, Sierra Leone, and others.  One meal was packaged; a fortified rice meal.  As time passed by, the leadership of the charity recognized that there is a huge need for food aid in the United States.  More meal options were added; macaroni and cheese, and apple cinnamon oatmeal. 

Today, over 80% of all foods packaged at the Nisswa facility are domestic meals and stay typically within a 100 mile radius of the Brainerd Lakes area.  We are still involved with international meal packaging (about 20%) and ship to countries as needs are addressed.  In 2019, international shipments include:  Haiti, Tanzania, Venezuela, Bahamas. 

In November, 2019; KAH-BLA rebranded and is now a community associate with The Outreach Program.  With this change comes better alignment to our mission of feeding people; allowing us to package 7 different meal varieties; and expand our program within our local communities and reach out to greater Minnesota.  Our primary packaging of meals is focused at our Nisswa facility, but we are also able to package at remote sites.
