We deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to 1,000s of people while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Nuestra Casa delivers fresh fruits and vegetables to thousands of people with remote site locations in East Palo Alto, Redwood City, and North Fair Oaks. We recover healthy, high-quality food from distributors around the Bay Area. This reduces peoples’ grocery bills so they can use that money for rent, utilities, or transportation. It reduces the stigma and transportation barriers people face when it comes to using local food pantries. We plan to expand this program to other communities we serve soon.
This program is a public-private partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, San Mateo County, and local grocery outlets to recover high-quality food that would otherwise get thrown away. We save our community time, money (through reduced transportation and food shopping costs), and dignity by delivering the food directly to them. And, by reducing food waste, we’re also reducing greenhouse gases.
