Houston Farmers and World Central Kitchen Deliver Produce to Those in Need | Eater Houston

"A Houston-based food-security nonprofit that sources fresh produce from sustainable family farms across central and southeast Texas to battle food insecurity. In the aftermath of Winter Storm Uri it partnered with a disaster-relief culinary nonprofit to deliver more than 10,000 boxes of fruits and vegetables—kale, sweet potatoes and winter citrus among them—to underserved neighborhoods in Houston, Galveston and the Ship Channel, with plans to expand to Austin and San Antonio. The organization uses a community-based distribution strategy (schools, churches and local partners have been key sites), prioritizes purchases from minority-owned farms to diversify supply chains, and has created temporary packing work for farm employees while fields are cleared and replanted; leadership expects distribution to rise to roughly 15,000–20,000 boxes as the program scales." - Brandon Summers-Miller
