Source Mn and the Fallout Urban Art Center (2001) has been reaching out to at-risk teens, homeless youth, and families in poverty since 1987. With the help of many local businesses and congregations we were able to respond to the Mpls Unrest and give away 200 tons of food summer of 2020 at the old Lake Street Kmart parking lot. We continue to provide for those impacted by food insecurity and are giving away over a million lbs. of groceries and meals annually through weekly distributions from the Fallout Urban Art Center.
