Building Community, Unleashing Dreams

Kitchen Unleashed values building community and believes that our less visible food entrepreneurs are valuable partners in fulfilling our mission and building on our vision for the community. Through Study Circle conversations, we anticipate there will be:

 

  • Increased awareness of early-stage food entrepreneurs’ experiences from underserved, black, brown and immigrant communities. These include self-perception and goals as entrepreneurs, how and where they currently access resources, and barriers to formalizing or expanding their business.

 

  • Identification of service gaps and barriers in the greater St. Cloud area for food entrepreneurs​

​

 

Study Circles are hosted in partnership with University of Minnesota (UMN) Department of Community Development.  Special thanks to Becca Leys, UMN Community Economics Educator, for co-facilitating the community conversations, and to Women's Foundation of Minnesota for their generous sponsorship grant for the Study Circle events.
