CAPI
The nonprofit CAPI is an organization that helps the newest Minnesotans navigate social services and has offered a culturally specific food shelf in Brooklyn Center for over 30 years. For immigrants or refugees facing hardships, finding food that caters to their culture can be even harder. From jasmine rice and Asian noodles to curry powder and even bamboo shoots, CAPI offers cultural must-haves that typically wouldn’t be found at a local food shelf. The nonprofit has since expanded to serve all immigrants, refugees, and communities of color in the Twin Cities.
“CAPI’s entire team is thrilled to be named as the “Hometown Hero,” Prakash said. “It’s a great honor and this recognition is an outcome of the great work CAPI does in the community; and it amplifies that our work is making a difference with a positive impact in the lives of refugees, immigrants and BIPOC communities.”
