LIVE ·2024 Grants ChallengeFarm to Food Bank Program
Within the City of Long Beach, there are areas officially designated as food deserts. Our Farm to Food Bank Program is a vital resource to these under-served communities. Each week we harvest organic greens, herbs, fruits, and vegetables to be distributed to the community. Our Program is reducing local food banks’ reliance on canned goods and shelf stable items. Our Program's weekly distribution provides struggling families with the quality nutrition and nourishment of fresh organic produce that they otherwise would not have access to.
