A Note from Sophia

Fall is my favorite time of year—leaves are turning, we’re celebrating the harvest, and almost everything is pumpkin spiced. But amid so many things I love, I’m struck with the challenges we are hearing from community members.

Camden Promise Shares Meals and Groceries to Nourish the Community

Six days a week, nearly 100 families come together to share food and community in North Minneapolis at Camden Promise, one of our 224 partner food programs.

A Note from Sophia

Food shelf visits in our state are still at record highs. At the height of the pandemic, it was easy to understand how more people in our community were experiencing hunger than ever before. Together, we are ensuring that everyone can gather with family and eat food that provides comfort and nourishment.

Impacts of Grocery Market Redlining in the Twin Cities

Access to fresh food and affordable grocery is a challenge for many in urban neighborhoods across the US. In the Twin Cities alone, 12.5% of residents live in food insecure areas.
