Hundreds of Minnesotans have come out to Sanford middle school in South Minneapolis to drop off food donations for those who have been affected by the rioting that took place Thursday and Friday night.
The tone in the city has shifted as the sun sets and rises, and today is no different than days prior. Many have commented on the shift in the atmosphere and our Susie Jones talked about the difference between last night and this morning.
“Last night was ominous and scary,” Susie Jones said, “today, there is this burst of generosity and love and support.”
Cars are lining up with donations of food, laundry detergent and other essential items that those living in affected areas may not be able to get right now. After the call went out for these items hundreds of bags now line the sidewalk and grass outside of Sandford.
Folks in Twin Cities put out a call, asking people to bring bags of specific groceries to Sanford Middle School, near epicenter of the protests. Families in the area have lost their access to food with damage to the nearby Target and Cub. Huge response. @CNN @maddow #TwinCities pic.twitter.com/SenDn9jyLm
