3/25 Update

Thanks to your generosity, a $37.5k donation from the Jay and Page Cowles Fund at the St Paul and Minnesota Foundation, and a $40k donation from MN Together, the Community Kitchen Network has helped 65 Twin Cities families pay their March rent! These donations helped us reach our goal of $100k, but as the need is so great, we have decided to continue our efforts. This week, we are distributing $60.9k more in rental assistance to families thanks to a subgrant from our friends at Neighbors Helping Neighbors. We will continue our work to keep our neighbors housed as our communities work to heal from the violent occupation of our streets by ICE.

About the Community Kitchen volunteer network:

A group of volunteers from Community Kitchen, a Minneapolis-based food distribution collective founded in 2020, came together in January to deliver groceries to our neighbors sheltering at home during ICE's occupation of the Twin Cities. What started with a few volunteers serving several families has transformed into a network of 100 volunteers delivering groceries to almost 200 families. And what began as a grocery delivery network has grown to include rent relief assistance, as many families have expressed and continue to express concern about paying their rent while sheltering at home during federal occupation.
