Born out of community need during the pandemic, Grassroots Grocery sprang to life and quickly began supplying fresh produce to those living in food deserts throughout NYC.
The Bronx nonprofit employs a unique model to rescue surplus produce and deliver it directly to the community. In its first year of operation, the startup grew from a single community fridge to serving 30 hyper-local community drop-off points throughout the Bronx and Uptown Manhattan.
