Gocery Truck
Our GOcery Trucks will come to neighborhoods in food deserts once a week and provide easy access to basic groceries.
Short Distance Delivery
If your local GOcery Truck is still inaccessible to you, we provide short distance delivery of groceries up to a 1/2 mile from the truck.
Community Gardens
To further support these communities we will build local community gardens. We will have job openings and volunteer opportunities.
Equal Opportunity To Be Healthy
In today’s modernized, urban society, it seems obvious that grocery stores and fresh food are generally easy to access. However, this is not always the case. One of our nation’s most pressing public health issues is that of food deserts.
While it may not seem clear how this issue immediately impacts the citizens of Houston, the Third Ward is actually located in a food desert, including the campus of the University of Houston. According to the Daily Cougar, there is currently not a single fresh food market or grocery store in the whole of the Third Ward.
The purpose of our project is to create a moving grocery truck stocked with fresh foods that would circulate the Third Ward of Houston in order to alleviate the severity of our neighborhood’s food desertification.
What you can do
If you are in the area of one of our truck locations or community gardens you can sign up to be a volunteer.
Donating money toward our organization will greatly help our cause and enable us to further explore solutions for food shortage issues.
