Our December Seedlings recipient is Appetite For Change. Round up your purchases all month long to support their work.

Appetite For Change (AFC) is a community-led nonprofit whose mission is to use food as a tool to build health, wealth, and social change. Through our innovative youth-led programs, social enterprise work, and policy initiatives, we build community capacity to make our own change. AFC programs are all based around a goal of creating health equity and eliminating health disparities in North Minneapolis and beyond.

At AFC, food access is about more than finding the nearest grocery store--food access also means learning to identify, grow, and prepare fresh nutritious for in a culturally relevant and sustainable way. AFC programs, including community cooking workshops, urban agriculture, youth development, a weekly farmers market, and organized food policy efforts, offer community members space and resources to learn about and change the foodscape through individual and communal movements.
