Our Active Aging RSVP Program is proud to partner with Fare For All, a food resource program that helps make fresh, affordable food available to communities across Minnesota.

Each month, a Fare For All food truck comes to Hosanna Church in Mankato, offering food to anyone in the Mankato area and surrounding communities. There are no income requirements—everyone is welcome!

Our Active Aging RSVP program has 5 wonderful volunteers who help make this well-organized event possible. I had the pleasure of attending my first event and working alongside Barb as we welcomed both longtime participants and many new faces. It was wonderful to see neighbors coming together to access fresh, affordable food and connect with one another.

And, of course, I couldn’t leave without bringing home a few goodies myself! 😋 Thick-cut bacon and Minnesota-grown fresh sweet corn—YUMMY! 🌽🥓

We’re grateful to our dedicated volunteers and to Fare For All for helping make nutritious food more accessible in our community.

Fighting hunger. Nourishing our community. Building connections.
