People Serving People is an emergency shelter in downtown Minneapolis, and we've partnered with them to help minimize our food waste in addition to providing vegan food for their residents. Each week, we donate anywhere from 50 to 70 pounds of vegan meat to them that they prepare and serve out of their kitchen.
