MissionThe mission of North Country Food Alliance is to strengthen food sovereignty in the Twin Cities Metro Area. We do this through two main program areas: foodshare and gardening. Our foodshare program rescues overstock food that would otherwise go to waste at farms, grocery stores, and distribution centers, and delivers it to community food shelves and kitchens. We also purchase produce from BIPOC-run farms to share for free with community groups. Our garden program increases access to land for food production and shares fresh, healthy produce with people in the neighborhood. We also educate the public on issues of food waste and food sovereignty.MissionDesc

DescThe outreach and education program has approximately 6,000 conversations in the Twin Cities Metro raising awareness of commercial food waste. These conversations don't just affect people's view of the world but also drive fellow community members into action. Business owners, store managers, farmers, gardeners, and other people participate with the foodshare and community garden program because of their contact with canvassers. In addition we find and start communication with local nonprofit workers that guide the focus of our work. Our other programs are informed by the outreach program. We educate our neighbors and they return in kind.Desc

DescFoodshare: We partner with businesses metro wide including but not limited to grocery stores, food co-ops, distributers, and food production facilities. We take the perishable food products such as fresh produce, meat, bread, dairy, that these businesses know they would have to waste without our help. Our workers ensure rapid and safe transportation of the food to be used by Twin Cities nonprofits every weekday. We give this food away completely free of charge to food shelves, shelters, and other nonprofits, allowing them to concentrate their resources where they are needed. We began gleaning food from local farms in the summer of 2020. Gleaning is the act of harvesting fresh produce in the field that would otherwise go to waste due to restrictions on time, storage, or other factors. NCFA workers and volunteers harvested produce from farm fields and donated it to local groups that serve people who face food insecurity. Also in 2020, we started purchasing produce directly from local farms, most of them BIPOC-run. This food is again given away for free in support of food security and food sovereignty. This fiscal year, we rescued 439,474 pounds of food and purchased an additional $37,310 worth of food, which was distributed to 42 different organizations across the Twin Cities Metro. We also purchased $24,436 worth of fridges and other supplies to provide community food shelves and kitchens with safe storage options for perishable foods.Desc

DescCommunity Garden: We plant gardens in neighborhoods with restricted access to fresh produce. These gardens give people the opportunity to learn how to grow their own healthy food and provide free produce to folks in the neighborhood. In spring of 2020, we broke ground at a new community garden at a public housing site in South Minneapolis. In 2021, we we worked with the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority to transfer management of this community garden to the Somali American Farmers Association (SAFA). Horn Towers is home to many Somali elders, and SAFA grows East African greens and crops like millet and okra in traditional ways that include regenerative practices. We also manage a garden in North Minneapolis, which has grown to house 24 circular raised beds and 16 rectangular ones. This is the largest it's been since its founding in 2017.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 3In March of 2020, we put our community meals program on pause due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. In September of 2020, we decided to officially end our community meals program in favor of focusing more resources toward foodshare and gardening. Also in March of 2020, we suspended our door-to-door canvassing program due to the pandemic. We restarted the program in September 2020. Though this program is smaller than in the past, we are still reaching out to our neighbors and educating them on issues of food waste and food sovereignty.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4NCFA amended its Articles of Incorporation in June 2021. Article III - Purpose originally stated: "This corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes as specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, including for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code. The purpose of this corporation is: North Country Food Alliance acts to increase access to food and to share food with people in need. We are committed to economic & environmental justice, workplace democracy, and confronting oppression." The amended article reads: "This corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes as specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, including for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code. The purpose of this corporation is: North Country Food Alliance is a worker-run non-profit that takes action to strengthen food sovereignty in the Twin Cities Metro Area." The bylaws were also updated to reflect this change under Article I - Name and Purpose, Section 2 - purpose. Furthermore, Article IV - Board of Directors of the bylaws was changed to increase the maximum number of board members from five to seven.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6As written in our bylaws, application for voting membership shall be open to any person that has a paid position at North Country Food Alliance and supports the purpose statement in Article I, Section 2. Membership is granted when an applicant is hired by a 67% majority vote of current worker-members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7aAs written in our bylaws, new directors and current directors shall be elected or re-elected annually by the current worker-members. Directors will be elected by a simple majority vote of the worker-members at a regularly-scheduled worker-meeting. The worker-meeting where the annual board election is to take place must be designated at a regularly-scheduled worker-meeting at least two weeks prior to the election. The day a board election is scheduled, current worker-members must receive written notice by email, text, or Slack.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bForm 990 is prepared by the administrative coordinators at North Country Food Alliance and reviewed by an accountant before it is sent to the organization's board members for their review and approval.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cThis was done by all members of the governing body determining if anyone would be uneligible to vote on policy or decisions that would go against our current conflict of interest policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15As a worker-run nonprofit, NCFA does not have an executive director or upper management employees. The role of executive director is held collectively by the worker body. The board of directors approves the annual budget of NCFA, which includes employee compensation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19There is a page on our website that hosts official documents. Additional documentation can always be made available by request. Our 990s can also be found on third-party sites, such as GuideStar.
