With the help of dedicated volunteers, The Food Group rescues fresh fruits and produce that are distributed for free to our food shelf partners. To do this, we need willing workers who will help us rescue the surplus food to those in need.
The Food Group partners with the Minneapolis Farmer's Market to collect surplus produce to distribute healthy food to local food shelves and meal programs in the Twin Cities metro area. Volunteers will help collect food from vendors, pack boxes, and load pallets that will be delivered to our Food Bank warehouse. Learn more and register here!
