Veggies for All

Picture
The Building Block of Natrona is partnering with 412 Food Rescue, based in Pittsburgh, to bring fresh produce and other foods directly into Natrona for free distribution to residents. 412 Food Rescue's programs help reduce food waste by saving food that otherwise would be thrown away. Natrona does not have have a food distribution center in the neighborhood - accessible to everyone. With the closest grocery nearly two miles away, the nearest bus stop about two miles away and some residents without access to transportation, Natrona truly is a food desert.

Watch our President Tricia Ritchie discuss food insecurity with 412 Food Rescue in early 2018. 
That's where we come in! The Building Block of Natrona is bridging this gap by connecting resources through the Veggies for All program. We are coordinating regular produce distributions by partnering with 412 Food Rescue and using space from the Knights of Columbus Council 2602 hall on Garfield Street in Natrona. Initially, we plan to have monthly food distributions, but we anticipate this may increase.
