“Produce to Market” Healthy Shelf Program has launched in North, West and Central Long Beach!
Important Update: As of May 2024, this program has been put on pause. The cashflow required to keep stores stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables, extensive program reporting and waiting for reimbursement has been challenging for us to keep up with. We're currently looking at ways to reboot the program and we need resource partners to help underwrite vital services like this. Become a donor or connect with us to learn about vital LB Fresh programs that need broad support.
What’s Happening?
We’re excited to bring fresh, local produce right to a corner store near you! Our program aims to increase access to fruits and vegetables at select corner stores in Long Beach.
What’s in it for Eaters?
● Fresh, local produce available at select North, West and Central LB corner store locations.
● Support local farmers and small businesses and promote health in your neighborhood. If you are a market, corner store or liquor store interested in this program, please reach out.
