FREE Produce - Those in NEED ONLY - NJ & PA

Produce For Those in Need – PA, NJ
Fresh For All is a program that puts good quality, fresh, free produce into the hands of those who need it. Product pickup is on specific days/times for each location. There are 12 pickup locations in New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. Those interested in becoming members will have to provide basic household information.

Locations are determined based on need and access to fresh produce. Some sites are in partnership with an area agency or business.  Fresh For All is like a traveling farmers market that set up at the same location every week at the same time so local residents can rely on the availability. To receive produce, neighbors are asked for basic household information to maintain program reporting and funding, but neighbors do not need to qualify for the program, and participating in Fresh For All does not affect other benefits received. More than 12,000 households were served by this initiative in 2011.

Thanks AshleyAnn!
