My goal this season is to make a meaningful impact on food insecurity. Will you join me?
I beieve that together we can nourish the greatness and potential that exists in everyone, one plate, one neighbor at a time. 🍽️
While we’re preparing for the season and gathering for celebrations, 1.2 million of our NYC neighbors may not know where their next meal is coming from.
And only 1 in 4 of our food insecure neighbors can access the help available. 💔
That is unacceptable. Period.
Daniel Zauderer and his team at Grassroots Grocery shows us an innovative way to actually change these disturbing stats.
As a community, WE can extend the food supply chain the last mile to reach 2500 households each week!! 🤝🥒🥦🍎🤝
Grassroots Grocery’s network of neighbors helping neighbors takes excess, wholesale bulk produce from Hunts Point Produce Market directly into the heart of the surrounding communities to those who need it most. Thats what I call farm to table for all!! ❤️
How? 5 days a week, Team GrG & volunteers like me pack and deliver beautiful fresh produce (which might otherwise go to waste) to courageous community leaders who host neighborhood produce giveaways = dignified, hyper-local access to healthy food.
Until the ball drops on New Year’s Eve, I will be doing my part to drive out hunger by:
🎯using my voice and platform to raise awareness
🎯 giving my time and talent
🎯 fundraising in a guided community of amazing Ambassadors
Dignified access to healthy food is a basic human right. If we join together we can welcome 2024 with a more equitable, inclusive table.
Here’s how you can help! :
