Our cohort of over 200 volunteers re-distribute an average of 1,300 pounds of produce daily from 23 food donors to 36 and recipient sites, mostly by bicycle.
These recipient sites include 31 No-Cost Grocery Programs at low-income housing sites, schools, and daycares. This program encourages resident-leaders to distribute food in their own communities and creates participatory systems that bypass barriers to food access.
