Concrete Jungle
East Point
Pounds of rescued fresh fruits and vegetables donated to local food banks and shelters.
Servings of fresh fruits and vegetables distributed to people facing food insecurity.
We distribute everything we harvest to local food banks and shelters, although we do sneak a taste occasionally while we pick.
Gabe Fleming, food pantry partner at Jewish Family Career Services
Concrete Jungle serves the food insecure communities of Georgia, and we could not accomplish our mission without our amazing community of volunteers, donors, tree and orchard owners, farmers, and partner organizations. We create connections between people and organizations through fresh, healthy food.
Systemic injustices perpetuate disparities for marginalized communities, and we design our programming to improve access to healthy foods for all. Every day we strive to provide more high quality, fresh produce to families that lack access. We believe equitable access can play a vital role in reducing chronic disease and the impact these health issues have on families.
We live in a state with a tremendous abundance of fresh produce available to serve all Georgians, but the USDA estimates that 40% of the food grown on farms never makes it to the dinner table. We find quick and innovative ways to rescue this abundance to share with others.
