Food and Basic Needs Assessment

Ramsey County’s Food and Basic Needs program provided assistance for residents in need during the COVID pandemic from August 2020 to December 2020. As the County works to address the ongoing food-related needs in our community, we are asking for your input to better understand your experiences to inform future food-related efforts.

The survey is anonymous. We will not record your name and will only ask general demographic questions. Participation is voluntary and there are no benefits or drawbacks to participating in this survey other than helping to inform future food-related assistance and there are no known risks to participating. The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete.

If you have any questions about the survey, you can contact Sarah Auten in the Ramsey County Health and Wellness Administrative Division’s Office of Research and Evaluation at sarah.auten@co.ramsey.mn.us.

If you would like assistance to translate this survey into another language, please contact the Ramsey County Language Line for interpretation assistance at 651-266-8500.
