The City of Roseville and The Sheridan Story are bringing free, fresh produce to Southeast Roseville on Wednesday, September 2. The produce will be distributed from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Unity Park, 1716 Marion St.
Anyone who may be struggling with food insecurity is encouraged to stop by to receive an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables.
This will be the third joint food distribution effort conducted by the City of Roseville and The Sheridan Story. In April, the city and Sheridan began making food bags available to those in need at the Roseville Fire Station and in May a food bag distribution event was held at Unity Park.
Food bags continue to be available for pick up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from the vestibule at the Roseville Fire Station, located at 2701 Lexington Ave.
For questions regarding either the upcoming distribution of fresh produce or the ongoing supply of food at the Fire Station, please contact Roseville Volunteer Coordinator Rachel Boggs at 651-792-7028 or Rachel.Boggs@cityofroseville.com.
About The Sheridan Story
More than 200,000 children in Minnesota live in food insecurity – they don’t always know if they’ll have food for their next meal. In order to fight this devastating reality, The Sheridan Story focuses on the food gaps, the times throughout the year when children aren’t able to receive free and reduced meal programs at school. In the last six years, The Sheridan Story has grown from serving one school with a weekend food program to implementing multiple food gap programs serving over 10,000 children across 300 locations.
