With the most vulnerable people urged not to go out, even for groceries, many of our neighbors did not have a safe way to get food. In response, One Community organized a coalition of 34 partner organizations to distribute groceries. Each week over 80 volunteers brought food to seniors and other vulnerable people who live in public housing and other low-income housing.

The 209 households served on March 27, 2020 grew to 1,700. In August 2021 we converted to Fresh Pantries.
