Cultivating a food system for everyone.
Community needs, community solutions.
-
Value Chain Coordination
Value Chain Coordinators (VCC’s) work to strengthen connections across food systems. They serve as relationship builders, researchers, and innovators.
-
Harvesting and gleaning
We partner with farmers and orchard growers to collect excess food after harvest to donate.
-
Community fridges
We provide fridges to communities so they can share their extra food with their neighbors.
-
Advocacy
We educate our community on current policies that impact our food system, why local procurement matters, how much food is thrown out, what hunger looks like today, and how to improve things.
Educate to expand access
Our food system was designed to prioritize convenience and profit over providing quality, healthy food for everyone in a sustainable way.
Eat Greater Des Moines is working toward a food system that meets immediate needs and builds a healthier community for our future.
We invite you to learn more.
