Jason Viana, Executive Director of The Open Door food pantry in Eagan, sits down with host Steve Francisco to discuss the work of the largest food pantry in the South Metro area as it works to fight hunger in our community.
The Open Door distributed over 3 million pounds of food in Dakota County in 2023. Jason leads an incredible team of staff and volunteers who work hard every day to provide food at The Open Door’s new Viking Lakes location and through its Mobile Pantry and Mobile Lunchbox programs.
A special emphasis is placed upon providing fresh fruit and vegetables to its clients, most of whom are working families that still struggle to make ends meet.
Finally, Jason mentions numerous ways for individuals and organizations can support the vital work of The Open Door.
