The Food Group, Surly Gives a Damn (SGAD) and 10 local liquor stores are putting together an emergency food drive for people in need.

You can bring non-perishable foods to any of 10 locations from April 1 to April 30. Drop the food in the The Food Group giant blue bin, and snap a photo of the QR code to get a coupon for a free pint at the Surly Beer Hall. The coupon can be redeemed once the brewery reopens.

"In the 10 years that SGAD has worked with The Food Group, the need to provide meals to our community has never been greater," said Mary Sellke, executive director, SGAD. "We'd love to see the bins filled every day of the emergency food drive so we make sure more Minnesotans know where their next meal will come from. I know we can do this during our essential supply runs, and then by staying home."
