Teaming Up with the Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings Support Northside Youth
This summer, students from Catholic Charities Northside Child Development Center were invited to the Minnesota Vikings TCO Stadium training facility! Students at Northside had just completed a summer-long health and wellness program put on by the Northside Achievement Zone, and loved showing off their moves to Vikings starters J.J. McCarthy, Josh Metellus, Blake Cashman, C.J. Ham, Brian O’Neil, Donovan Jackson, and others.
This special experience was made possible by the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation, an organization that partners with NFL teams to coordinate engagement with and support for impactful youth programs, like the Northside Child Development Center.

An Ongoing Partnership
The Minnesota Vikings continue to support Catholic Charities with their Vikings Table Food Truck, a program with the mission of serving healthy meals and nutrition education to youth across the Greater Twin Cities area. Currently, the Vikings Table is providing meals every other week to children and families at the Northside Child Development Center, and Hope Street Youth Shelter!
For busy families with children, and for youth experiencing homelessness in Minneapolis, regular access to free, delicious, healthy meals makes a huge difference.
Let’s cheer on our Northside students as they kick off a new school year, and the Minnesota Vikings as this season gets going!
