EarthSave Twin Cities
Monthly Potlucks


Potlucks with a Purpose
The essence of any local EarthSave group! ALL are invited to join EarthSave Twin Cities each month for a friendly and enjoyable potluck buffet and afterwards, enjoy a program that educates us further about the importance of healthy food choices on our health, the environment, and for all life on Earth!

One purpose of these meals is to have a relaxed, hands-on, FUN, and educational experience, as well as to offer a great example that wholesome, plant-based dishes have a delightful appeal! Another purpose of the potlucks is to share recipes and learn from others how to create great-tasting, healthy, wholesome food!
