You may be interested to know of this fantastic resource in our community. Flourish Food Market is a free plant-based food market that aims to provide fresh and healthy food options to those who may have difficulty accessing them. They are committed to promoting overall health and well-being for all.
Flourish offers a wide range of fresh and healthy plant-based foods. Whether you’re looking for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, or legumes, this market has got you covered. You can personally choose the foods you want and need, just like shopping at any regular grocery store.
Located in the Center of Belonging at 3501 Aldrich Ave S, Minneapolis, Flourish Food Market opens its doors for in-person shopping most Wednesdays from 1-3pm (check their website for the calendar). It’s a great opportunity to explore its aisles and find a variety of shelf-stable and fresh food options that will nourish your body and support your well-being.
Flourish Food Market is a remarkable partnership between Flourish Placemaking Collective and Rooted Green Wellness. This collaboration has been made possible thanks to the support of Second Harvest Heartland and the amazing contributions from community members. It’s a true testament to the power of coming together to create positive change.
If you would like to contribute to their vital work, please click here to make a donation. Additionally, if you’re interested in volunteering or want more information about how you can get involved, please reach out to them at [email protected].
In addition to the food pantry, Flourish Food Market also hosts free community meals. Every month, our friends at Rooted Green Wellness prepare a delicious plant-based meal for all to enjoy. The timing of these community meals may vary, so make sure to check their website for the upcoming date. For this month, the community meal is scheduled for Wednesday, December 20th, from 1-3pm.
We encourage you to spread the word about this wonderful initiative. We are glad that it is there as a resource for our community.
