Fresh produce distribution events
Fresh produce distribution events are offered year-round. Our goal at these events is to distribute ample amounts of fresh produce to people and families in need.
Summer / Fall distributions*
(July–October) Fresh Produce Distributions take place outdoors at two St. Paul locations: The Wellstone Center and the parking lot of Summit Brewing. These are farmer’s market style events and are open to all!
Winter / Spring distributions*
(November–May) Fresh Produce Distributions take place at Metro State University in St. Paul. During each event, we distribute approximately 3,000 pounds of food to approximately 75–100 families on average.
* Weather permitting – If there are thunderstorms, excessive heat warnings, or winter weather warnings we may cancel the event and / or events.
