VEAP provides an incredibly necessary community service. I go to VEAP once a month to get food and…read morethey provide "an abundance of groceries" absolutely free. Fish fillets, ground beef, fruits, vegetables, grains, bread, canned foods, frozen foods, sauces, pastries, butter, even sometimes toilet paper, paper towels and napkins. I'm not sure how they've managed to grow to become such an inspirational and clearly imperative service to the community but having been here in Minnesota for more than 20 years may explain it in part. It also requires dedicated and responsible volunteers that work with a smile for everyone that comes through the door. I'd give VEAP 10 Stars or more if I could. We get between 15 and 30 full, well balanced meals for 2 people every month! As an aside, I don't believe any of VEAP's policies could be considered overreach and if you use VEAP and are amazed at what you get for free and feel that VEAP makes you feel deserving and proud, take the time to leave a review!

Clean store. Friendly staff…read more There's not a ton of turnover at this store on clothing, but I think it's pretty fairly priced. Lots of Target rejects if that's your thing. These are priced as if they have not been rejected by target shoppers and are in tremendous demand. There's a huge second floor, which I never noticed, full of kids and men's clothing, plus all the junk. Households etc. Everything is pretty well organized. Good place to get party supplies. The parking lot is pretty tight and don't even dream of taking a left turn onto Nicollet when you leave. Unless you got a lot of time on your hands.

We did a napkin and placemat sort/pairing, some people got to match the sets to a set of dishes so when people come to grab them they can have a whole set. This location seemed a bit tighter space wise than the other location but it worked out for us spreading out. Staff were nice and helpful when we had questions.
