COMMUNITY COOKS

MEAL BOXES

Fresh ingredients for a delicious meal.

Delivered straight to you.

Each Community Cooks Meal Box is filled with high-quality ingredients and suggested recipes, providing enough food for 4-6 servings of two delicious dishes to our community in North Minneapolis. We deliver over 120 meal boxes each week, highlighting fresh, local, healthy foods. We encourage you to use the skills learned at our Community Cooks workshops to modify these recipes to fit your unique tastes and preferences. Let our Meal Boxes bring the workshop to your home!

Locally-Sourced Recipes, 

Hundreds of Homes Each Year.

Community Cooks Meal Boxes are a collaborative effort! Our meal boxes are packed by youth, staff, and volunteers each week, and AFC meal boxes include produce from our urban farms. We develop recipes and newsletters with our partner programs each week, with our boxes providing a variety of local produce, proteins, and pantry staples for each household. Come cook with us today by checking out our recipes page and cookbook!

AFC’s 2024 meal box program has reached capacity!
