15 Years of Growing Change
For 15 years, Appetite For Change (AFC) has used food as a tool to build health, wealth, and social change in North Minneapolis. Through urban agriculture, youth leadership, cooking workshops, and fresh food distribution, we work alongside our neighbors to create a stronger, healthier community.
Our work starts with a simple belief: Everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food, and our community should have a voice in how that food is grown and shared.
Our Impact in North Minneapolis in 2026:
6,000+ pounds of fresh produce grown and harvested with youth participation.
40,818 meals served through Meal Boxes and Community Cooks workshops.
3,986 households reached through our food access programs.
$629,912 invested back into North Minneapolis.
As we celebrate 15 years of impact, we're also looking ahead to what's next.
AFC is facing the loss of access to our Deep Winter Greenhouse, an important part of our ability to grow fresh food year-round. We are working to secure new growing space so our youth and neighbors can continue planting, harvesting, learning, and sharing food in North Minneapolis.
This Give to the Max Day, help us grow what's next. Your gift supports the people, programs, and growing spaces that make this work possible.
