Mobile Foodhsare
Foodshare's Mobile Foodshare Program
One of the most successful programs Foodshare has embarked upon in recent years is the rapid delivery program. Mobile Foodshare takes perishable food items such as highly nutritious fruits and vegetables to people in low income neighborhoods who need it most. By working with a network of sponsoring agencies that provide neighborhood sites and the volunteers to manage them, they provided over 2.6 million pounds of produce in 2009.
Mobile Foodshare currently operates 57 sites in 19 towns: Avon, Bloomfield, Bristol, East Hartford, Enfield, Farmington, Glastonbury, Hartford, Hebron, Manchester, New Britain, Newington, Plainville, Rockville/Vernon, Southington, Stafford, West Hartford, Wethersfield and Willington.
“The new truck has refrigerated compartments. We now have a way to deliver meats, yogurts, ice cream and other dairy items. It is a great addition,” raves George Lombardo, Community Programs Coordinator at Foodshare.
