Giving Back

Mississippi Market Helps Build Community

Our co-op gives back to our neighborhoods through four major initiatives:

Through sponsorships of the Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour and the Selby Area JazzFest, each of which take place in early September
By making small donations to over 90 area schools, nonprofits and other local organizations over each fiscal year
By participating in the Minnesota FoodShare Drive to End Hunger held each March. In 2008 our members donated nearly 27,000 dollars/lbs. of food which was divided equally among five area food shelves!
By donating surplus produce and packaged foods to Twelve Baskets and other local food shelves throughout the year.
By offering an assortment of free classes and guest speakers for schools and community organizations
