THE CAMDEN PROMISE

Building Hope, Together

Our Story

On November 6, 2020, the Camden Promise and Gethsemane Lutheran Church broke ground on the future home of The Gethsemane Farmers Market. Today, the Camden Promise food shelf stands as a beacon of hope for families residing in North Minneapolis, offering vital support in times of need. With its roots deeply embedded in the community, the food shelf operates with the mission to alleviate hunger and ensure that no family goes to bed hungry. Through dedicated volunteers and partnerships with local organizations, the food shelf provides a wide array of nutritious food items, ranging from fresh produce to pantry staples. Its welcoming atmosphere fosters a sense of dignity and respect for all who seek assistance, creating a space where individuals and families can access nourishment without fear or judgment.

Beyond merely providing food, the Camden Promise food shelf strives to address the systemic issues underlying food insecurity. By offering quality resource and fresh produce, it empowers individuals to make healthier choices. Additionally, the food shelf collaborates with community leaders and policymakers to advocate for policies that promote food equity and address the root causes of hunger.

Through its unwavering commitment to serving the community, the Camden Promise food shelf serves as a vital lifeline for families, embodying the spirit of compassion and solidarity that defines North Minneapolis.
