Food Access | Minneapolis + surrounding areas 🫂🤲
With all of the uncertainty and likelihood of government provided food benefits being taken away in November, we want to help connect our community to local resources that are available as a supplement. We are angry and anxious about all the ways this will impact our local community and beyond but hopeful in the collective community power to support each other in hard times.
🌱 On Facebook, check out this group: Twin Cities Free Food Events & Resources . There are tons of posts every day notifying where folks can get free meals/food for their family.

🌱 At Roots, we have a weekly CSA drop off for our parent group (Thursdays 10-11:30am) but are happy to direct those goods to anyone in need and happy to help folks find resources.
🌱 For those who are financially able to, please consider donating money to the above local Food Banks/resources. These organizations know how to stretch money to feed the most people.
🌱 Check in on your friends, family, and neighbors. Making a meal for someone else, sending the gift of money to buy food, any little gesture makes a difference.
