Veggies, of course….

At The Food Drive, we celebrate the arrival of the wondrous month of June. Why? Veggies of course! In June, Oakdale Farm and Dick’s Market Garden donate bins of gorgeous greens and summer squash at the Melrose Farmer’s Market. Volunteers from our local CSA, Farm Direct Coop, drop extra veggie boxes on our Donation Porch. And our new grocery partner, Calareso’s Farm Stand, sets aside vegetables and fruit all week long for volunteers like Sean to rescue and deliver. Let’s face it, food pantry shelves are well stocked with mac and cheese. But where are the fresh veggies that we all need to live healthy lives? That’s where hyperlocal, super-responsive food rescue comes in. Fresh local produce can’t be BEET.
