BIPOC Foodways Alliance

BIPOC Foodways Alliance (BFA) understands that food and culinary traditions are invaluable cultural assets across communities and generations. Everyone carries a personal food story, and these stories hold histories, memories, and meaning that go far deeper than any restaurant menu.

BFA curates, documents, and hosts collaborative culinary events that center these stories—especially those from communities most impacted by cultural erasure. By sharing what, why, and how we eat, we build understanding across difference and strengthen the social fabric of Minnesota. We are stronger together. We cannot fight hate from silos.

Your Give to the Max Day donation directly supports home cooks, elders, and knowledge keepers; multilingual storytelling; and community-centered events where cultural safety, joy, and belonging take root. Every gift helps preserve our stories and ensure that culture is built by the many, not the few.
