Brightside Produce

BrightSide Produce is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that makes fresh produce more available in low-income urban neighborhoods. It was founded in June 2014 collaboratively with North Minneapolis youth. Since then, BrightSide has  been providing fresh fruits and vegetables to corner stores throughout Minneapolis. The core operation involves a team of neighborhood youth and university students who make regular deliveries to corner stores in under-served areas. BrightSide's efforts increase reliable access to affordable fresh fruits and vegetables to thousands of community members while supporting small local businesses.
