We are a unique #hungerrelief organization. We've chosen to be more than a #foodbank. Hunger relief must involve equity and food system justice work--from farm to table. It's more challenging than short-term relief. How we "walk the talk" with our #farm: bigriverfarms.thefoodgroupmn.org/video-from-far…

We stand in solidarity with the Asian American & Pacific Islander community. We join people everywhere in mourning the victims of the horrific shootings in Atlanta & condemn violence, discrimination & xenophobia. We all have an obligation to stand up against racism.

Our grief is heavy today for another Black life lost in nearby Brooklyn Center. We lift our thoughts and hearts to Daunte Wright’s family and our neighbors who are in pain.

Today marks one year since the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police. This past year has been filled with pain and grief, but also hope for racial justice. Daily, we see food disparities across race. We must stand against racial injustice to build a brighter future.
