The Anoka County Brotherhood Council In Final Outdoor Produce Giveaway of the Season at Coon Rapids Dam

COON RAPIDS, Minn. — The last outdoor produce distribution of the year will take place on Friday, September 26, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, Pavilion 3.

The free community event is hosted by ACBC Food Shelf (Anoka County Brotherhood Council), a local nonprofit dedicated to reducing food insecurity and supporting families across Anoka County.

The distribution is open to everyone, and there is no fee to enter the park. Volunteers will hand out fresh fruits and vegetables at no cost, while supplies last. Organizers recommend that attendees bring a cart or wagon to make carrying items easier.

In addition to food distribution, the event will feature community resources for residents of all ages, helping connect families to local services and programs.
