Mississippi market gives back to our neighborhoods through these major initiatives:
- Sponsorships to community events that align with our mission.
- A J.J. Hill student carries a bag full of non-perishable food items to the Hallie Q. Brown food shelf during the MN FoodShare March Campaign.
- When shoppers bring their own bag, they receive a credit of 5¢. They can choose to donate this credit to our EcoStamp program. We collect these donations for two months, then deliver them to community environmental organizations.
- Our Community Donation program gives small gifts to area schools, nonprofits and other local organizations over each fiscal year.
- During the annual Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign, we encourage our shoppers to donate at our registers to help support 6 of our area food shelves.
- By donating surplus produce and packaged foods to local food shelves throughout the year. For example, by the end of 2010 we had donated over 19,000 lbs of food to the Hallie Q. Brown food shelf.
- By offering an assortment of free classes and guest speakers for schools and community organizations.
