About this organization
Mission
Food Forward fights hunger and prevents food waste by rescuing fresh surplus produce, connecting this abundance with people experiencing food insecurity, and inspiring others to do the same.
About
The wholesale produce market recovery program was launched in February 2014. The program collects large lots of fresh, surplus produce from wholesale produce vendors, distributors, and growers at the downtown Los Angeles wholesale produce market and across the region. These donations are delivered to large hunger relief agencies that distribute this fresh produce to clients in need and hundreds of additional direct service agencies. Fruits and vegetables collected by the program are distributed to hundreds of thousands of Southern Californians every month. In addition, wholesale produce market recovery provides the fresh produce for seven monthly produce pick-ups, a collaborative model where produce is directly distributed to individuals in need.
