Advancing food justice by cultivating a community of neighbors helping neighbors. Every Saturday, Grassroots Grocery rescues over 10,000 pounds of produce from their amazing partner Hunts Point Produce Market and distributes it to more than 1,100 families.  Each drop-off site has a community leader, or grassroots grocer, who is committed to getting this food to people in their neighborhood. Volunteer drivers help deliver this harvest to places it’s never gone before: hanging on a doorknob for someone who can’t leave their home, or in a community fridge where anyone can access it without having to ask.

Responsibilities Include: 

• Unpack and sort a literal truckload of fresh surplus produce 

• Pack it up and load it into cars

• Drive it to community drop-off sites run by Grassroots Grocers
