Our Impact
-
Healthy Corner Stores
BrightSide makes it easy for small stores in underserved Twin Cities communities to offer high-quality, low-cost fruits and veggies to their customers with a nationally-distinctive model. Our flagship program delivers over 80,000 pounds of produce each year to 42 corner stores in Minneapolis and St. Paul!
-
Doorstep Deliveries
We believe that access to affordable fresh food is a basic right. That's why we offer a sliding-scale doorstep delivery program, Pay What You Can (waitlisted), and our no-cost Food as Medicine initiative, Produce Rx.
-
Farmers Markets
We manage two farmers markets in the Twin Cities as a way to support local growers, entrepreneurs, and artists: Linden Hills Farmers Market in south Minneapolis and the MidCity Farmers Market in St. Paul.
-
Sustainability
We are passionate about sustainability and avoiding food waste. Because we move fruits and vegetables 7 days a week, we have very little produce that becomes overripe on our watch. All BrightSide Produce that is not high enough quality to be sold is either composted or upcycled.
How you help:
The simple act of subscribing to our grocery delivery service, the Online Farmers Market, helps community members get reliable access to affordable fresh produce, and we think that makes you a hero.
Prefer to go to the store yourself, but still want to make an impact? You can still be involved by donating to the cause!
