Our September Seedlings recipient is Appetite For Change, serving North Minneapolis.

Founded in 2011, Appetite For Change uses food to build health, wealth and social change. Their vision is a local, equitable food system that supports economic wealth and physical health for residents of North Minneapolis.

Appetite For Change advances Eastside Food Co-op’s priorities for food access and agriculture. Their programs include community cooking workshops focused on nutrition and connection. Youth and community members tend their seven urban garden plots and the produce they grow is sold through the West Broadway Farmer’s Market, which Appetite For Change operates. Produce is also used to prepare meals at Breaking Bread Café, their social enterprise restaurant that serves healthy meals and encourages community dialogue about food.
