​We have good news and great news to share about the food shelf challenge!
The good news is Purple Carrot Market and First United Church collected 617 items total putting us well over the 500 items needed for the extra $500 in Thrivent money.
The great news is Thrivent doubled the money from $500 to $1,000. The Morrison County Food Shelf will get the 617 items collected plus $1,000 to help stock their shelves for our friends and neighbors.
Thank you, Pastor Tony, for partnering with us on this challenge.

Grant Money Awarded

11/5/2022

We have some good news to share! The Purple Carrot Market received a grant from the Initiative Foundation for just over $15,600 as part of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development's (DED) Main Street Economic Revitalization program.  

The Purple Carrot Market applied for the grant to upgrade the boilers in our building- the next step in getting the building ready for our food co-op and for the construction documents required for us to get bids on the project. This is a HUGE step along the path to getting our store open. 
​
Thank you to the Initiative Foundation and the Little Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, Community Development of Morrison County, and the City of Little Falls for prioritizing our project for funding!
