Here's just a small sampling of the projects we are working on right now.
Food Rescue
Food rescue allows us to tackle two problems simultaneously: food waste and hunger. Each week, we recover unexpired food that would otherwise go to waste and put it on the shopping floor at our food shelf. We currently receive donated food from:
Whole Foods: Uptown
Lunds & Byerlys: Uptown and Cedar
Cub Foods: Minnehaha
Kowalski’s Markets: Southdale
Fulton Farmers Market
Joyce Uptown Foodshelf Garden
Our garden helps to provide a variety of fresh vegetables throughout the summer and fall. We are currently growing collard greens, kale, hot peppers, tomatoes, bush beans, and more.
Plant Shelf
When available, we provide shoppers with houseplants. Especially in the winter months, a plant can make a huge difference, bringing vibrance and color to people’s homes.
We rely primarily on donations of plants and can accept rooted cuttings and potted plants on Fridays from 9-12pm.
