How They’re Using the Grant

With funding from the Feeding Dreams Foundation, Community Roots Collective expanded their “Fresh Fridays” program—doubling the number of produce bags distributed to local families each week. They also used a portion of the grant to purchase insulated storage units, allowing them to safely store perishable donations and reduce food waste.
