Prevail Mix

Prevail News (DBA) Prevail Mix

Our Mission is Two-Fold: 

Prevail News is organized exclusively for charitable, scientific and education purposes. The purpose of this corporate nonprofit is to support programs that strengthen community and provide resources for mutual aid, with a particular but not exclusive focus on food justice, community development, the healing arts, and support for unhoused persons.

This Includes…

• Providing food justice programs at Zion Community Commons (the building and grounds of Zion Lutheran Church) in the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul. We are among several food and justice partners that offer meal and groceries programs weekly.  
• Outreach and support for unhoused persons in Saint Paul.

Our Current Partners in Food Justice (Designate "Food Justice" when donating)

FREE meals:

Our commercial kitchen is located in the midway area in Saint Paul, MN, at Zion Community Commons (1697 LaFond Street). This kitchen is used by chef Colin Anderson and other volunteers for serving healthy, nutritious foods from ingredients that accommodate dietary restrictions. Meals are served three times a week at Zion and increasingly to homeless encampments. We estimate an average of 200 free meals are served every week.

FREE groceries:

Nutritious and fresh foods largely from local farmers (depending on season) are served at open markets both at Zion Community Commons and at a location in Minneapolis. Chef Colin Anderson with other volunteers provide the impetus for this effort to provide dignity to recipients. Other food give-away programs rely on out-of-date, throw-away canned and packaged foods fit for poor diets. Colin started with once a month food markets and meals in 2022 to four a month in early 2024. This level is expected to increase by 30 - 50% upon added donation monies.

Can you help us? Because we are small and currently with unpaid staff, 100% of your donation goes directly toward getting a Street Survivor into housing. We will use your much needed donation to scale up our Prevail Mix business.

Thank you for your donation!
