A dinner with food donated by local farmers will be provided. The Northside is one of the few areas of Minneapolis that does not have a co-op today, despite the first modern co-op in Minneapolis being founded by the Black Panthers on Plymouth Avenue in the 1960s. This effort aims to restore that proud history and reconnect Northside residents to their food supply and economic well-being. During the meeting, residents will discuss the basics of food co-ops, and will consider how a co-op could benefit ourselves and our neighbors. We will talk about how to structure a co-op so that it meets our needs, including access to affordable, wholesome food and the opportunity to reinvest our money in the Northside. Members of the press are welcome to attend.
