Our February Seedlings recipient is Twin Cities Food Justice. Round up your purchases all month long to support their work.

Twin Cities Food Justice (TCFJ) is a volunteer-driven nonprofit that improves food insecure individuals’ access to fresh, nutritious food in Minneapolis. TCFJ partners with co-ops, grocery stores and farmers markets to redistribute unsalable foods to local hunger relief organizations. Each month, TFJC rescues 10,000 - 15,000 lbs. of food and distributes to 4,000 - 6,000+ people. Food is delivered within 48 hours, maximizing its quality and likelihood of consumption. TCFJ works directly with over 50 community-based organizations.

In Minnesota, 1 in 10 households struggle with food insecurity, a number that is rapidly growing, while nearly 40% of food produced in the U.S. is never eaten. This problem has real health and environmental consequences that TCFJ was founded to address. TCFJ works with smaller donors and community organizations that have been excluded from traditional food rescue programs. TCFJ deliveries are free to both donors and recipients.
