BRIGHTSIDE PRODUCE

BrightSide Produce delivers affordable, fresh fruits and vegetables to partner stores weekly, increasing the accessibility and availability of affordable produce in communities that have limited access... At BrightSide Produce, we strive to eliminate food deserts in urban areas by bridging communities through people and produce... BrightSide Produce has developed a sustainable distribution model that makes fresh produce more available in low-income urban neighborhoods. It was founded in June 2014 as a collaboration between the University of St. Thomas and Community Table Co-op to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to corner stores in Minneapolis, MN. The core operation of BrightSide Produce Minneapolis involves teams of neighborhood youth and university students making regular deliveries to corner stores in under-served areas.
