There is a paradox between obesity and hunger in our country. We are experiencing an epidemic of diet and weight related illnesses, while too many in or communities simply don't have enough to eat.
Our Approach
Building a more sustainable and equitable local food system.
Volunteers use cash donations to purchase fresh produce at farmers markets. The purchased and donated food is given to local agencies.
We create opportunities for local growers to supply produce to grocery stores, universities, schools and other institutions.
We offer fresh food and food system education in school cafeterias, after-school programs and hunger relief agencies to build healthy eating habits.
Our produce buying club also builds in nutrition education to engage a community around fresh, locally grown food.
You can help.
