Culturally Centered Food Access
Partnering with the Department of Indian Work
The Department of Indian Work (DIW) serves American Indian families across the Twin Cities, offering expanded food shelf services, nutrition education, youth enrichment, and economic mobility programs.
Food Connect provided weekly transportation and delivery of culturally relevant food, helping elders maintain reliable access to healthy foods within a program built by and for Native families.
Flexible Food Access
Operation Metro Surge
As Operation Metro Surge heightened uncertainty for immigrant communities across the Twin Cities, local food organizations adapted their programs to meet changing needs and create safe, accessible ways for families to get food.
Food Connect provided flexible transportation and delivery support, moving food between farms, donors, and community distribution points, often with less than 24 hours’ notice, enabling local partners to stay focused on their communities and respond as needs shifted.
