Fare For All is a great way to save money on quality, nutritious food. We buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and frozen meat in bulk to save you up to 40% off grocery store prices. We select the best food from our shipments, pre-packaging it to give you the greatest deals. Fare For All is community supported and open to everyone. The more people who participate, the better.
Fare For All has thirty locations in the greater Twin Cities metro area where our food packages are sold once a month. All our locations are cash and carry – there is no need to register in advance.

How it works
Fare For All buys fresh produce and frozen meat in bulk from wholesalers and manufactures to find the best deals available. Volunteers at our warehouse pre-pack the produce and meat into food packages that range in price from $10 – $25. These packages are for sale at all of our Fare For All locations. To visit a Fare For All location, there is no need to register in advance or fill out any paperwork. Fare For All is open to everyone – because we buy food in bulk, the more people who participate the better. We try to fill our trucks for each location, so it is very rare that we run out of food. We visit our locations once a month, for two hours at a time. Fare For All accepts cash, credit, debit, and EBT cards.
