What an incredible afternoon at FallFest! We loved seeing so many neighbors, families, and familiar faces come together to celebrate community and 15 years of Appetite For Change!

Together, we distributed 950 pounds of fresh, locally grown produce reaching 413 community members! From squash and peppers to collards, kale, cabbage, and more, we were excited to share the harvest with our neighbors.

North Minneapolis, thank you for celebrating with us!

Our Youth Ambassadors recently celebrated a HUGE milestone—submitting their very first youth-led grant proposal to the Karma for Cara Foundation!

This week, the last week of YTOP for the summer, our YTOP youth took the lead!

Youth hosted a SkillShare with each other and AFC staff, sharing what they’ve learned and practiced over the summer.

Youth Ambassadors shared professional and workplace skills. Urban Agriculture taught us how to plant a garden and Community Cook showed us how to make Buffalo Chicken Dip and Spinach Artichoke dip! Yum!

We love to see our youth step into the role of teachers and share their skills with the team!
