THE REAL MINNEAPOLIS
We were featured on the national NBC TODAY Show last year for helping in the heat wave!
We Have Distributed 80k+ Meals & 2.7M+ Ounces of Water
Addressing the Social Determinants of Health
We have distributed more than 80,000 meals to hungry Minnesotans -- and way more than 2,700,000 ounces of water since late 2020. In April of 2024, we expanded to also prepare our own 500 meals a week. We operate out of Tiny Diner. Think of it as a community center where we also cook up some fun with cooking classes, community gatherings and more!
While handing out water in a heatwave was hot news for 4 different media outlets in 5 days last July, it was literally just another day for The Real Minneapolis. Shoutout to Heidi Wigdahl of NBC Kare11, who has believed in our work and accurately captured our story several times since summer of 2020. The TODAY Show picked up the story Heidi had done locally!
