Our Partners
Founded in 2018 by Melanie and Grant Snyder, Involve MN is a Minnesota based 501c3 Non-Profit where community, business and government partner to help those struggling with being unsheltered on our Minneapolis and St. Paul area streets. We provide organized food outreach, targeted resource allocation, and supportive mentoring to those in greatest need. In the midst of Covid, in December 2020, Involve MN opened its first commercial kitchen in partnership with The Women’s Club of Minneapolis. This kitchen produces and distributes over 12,000 meals weekly to shelters, drop-in centers, and encampments across the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
Featured February Bakery!
Impact is literally and figuratively baked into our model. We bake with people and community in mind by partnering with teen programs, a young adults program, and a program for men returning to society after incarceration, teaching community members about baking and how to run a business. Most importantly, Lutunji’s Palate offers community members not only a place of employment, but a place to “life skill” together, to discover what they are good at and how to pursue their life purpose. Lutunji’s Palate further provides a space in Minneapolis for much needed community healing after the recent racial tensions and pandemic, and provides the Elliott Park neighborhood with a Black-woman-owned bakery and community gathering spot.
