FOODSHARE: Feeding a Need in our Community
“We believe access to fresh, affordable food should not be limited by where you live or how much you make.”- FOODSHARE SC
Our mission at HOPE through FOODSHARE – Lancaster is to help individuals and families improve health by increasing access to farm fresh produce and nutritional and culinary education.
What is FOODSHARE?
The FOODSHARE program is designed to help families improve health by increasing access to FRESH PRODUCE by providing an affordable produce box once a month. Anyone can purchase a box is filled with 12-15 varieties of healthy fruits and vegetables. The cost is $20 per box and the box would retail for $28-$30.
Recipes
We know it’s about more than just a box of food. That’s why we offer additional resources to help you prepare tasty and nutritious meals from the contents of the Fresh Food Box. Each Fresh Food Box comes with a recipe insert chock full of ideas, as well as food storage tips and other useful information.
