Our Programs
Healthy corner stores
FRESH AND AFFORDABLE FOOD IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
Our growing number of Healthy Corner Store locations aim to serve neighborhoods where traditional grocery stores are scarce, if not nonexistent.
By partnering with and investing in the small businesses that already do exist in these areas, we can quickly turn a convenience store or gas station into a fresh food oasis.
Our delivery team visits each store to replenish the fruits and vegetables every day of the week!

food redirection
In 2022, our Food Redirection Program redirected 700,000 pounds of produce away from the landfill preventing 66,403 pounds of methane from being created and released into our atmosphere.
The food redirection program sorts produce into 4 pathways to keep us zero waste!
