How it works: Organizations and community groups purchase non-customizable boxes of food in bulk for a 20-30% discount off market prices.
What is the Impact? In 2025, we will deliver food to over 500 households. Many households receive regular deliveries throughout the year.
Why it's part of the model: By making these boxes non-customizable and using an efficient delivery model, we reduce our cost of packing and delivery. We also pack these boxes when our facilities would not otherwise be used, fully utilizing our space, and not adding to our overhead. This means we can buy more local produce and sell it at a significant discount without losing money. Because it does not require subsidies from PFW, if we have demand, there is no limit to our ability to scale this.
Who is involved:

How it works: Our market is located outside of our warehouse at 20th and Hunting Park (designated food desert) from 11 - 4 on Fridays between Mother's Day and Thanksgiving. We do a big neighborhood turkey giveaway for Thanksgiving and run art and wellness classes during the winter. Food is sold at a 30 - 50% discount from online market prices, and we accept SNAP and FMNP coupons.
What is the impact? In 2025, we will provide food for over 350 households, with a core group of approximately 25 regulars who visit every week.
Why it’s part of the model: We can utilize the existing PFW facilities/systems to purchase/store produce and farmstand materials, thereby reducing the need to cover overhead in our prices. We are building relationships in the neighborhood that make our warehouse a safer place. The market is located right outside our front door, reducing the cost of setting up and breaking down the market. We are part of this community, and our neighbors will have access to healthy, local food.
