Our future is collectively built. Let's bring the best of what we have.
Research and practice, together.
How are we going to spend one and a half days together? By learning, listening, and offering what we can in the service of the whole. Come prepared to learn from all that are present, to ask difficult questions, to offer your courageous observations, and to grow your leadership in your work - whether you come as a human services professional or leader, a researcher, a community partner, or a student.

Appetite For Change (AFC) uses food as a tool to build health, wealth and social change in North Minneapolis. Our organization is community driven, food justice minded and committed to sustainability. Established in 2011, our programs and services are built directly on the needs and interests expressed by community members at our first shared meal events. These early dialogues around the table became the framework for Community Cooks, a flagship AFC program. Our founders Michelle Horovitz, Latasha Powell and Princess Titus share a commitment to AFC’s community driven organizational model. Together they envision Appetite For Change as the catalyst for a North Minneapolis movement toward racial, economic and health equity. For more information, please click here.
