What families tell us

Straight from our 2026 family surveys

We ask the families we serve what's working. The answer is consistent: fresh food is the heart of the value, and it's changing how their children eat.

90%

eat most or all of the fresh produce we deliver each week.

71%

want even more fresh produce each week, the number-one request.

All figures are self-reported by the families we serve.

How we measure success

Two tiers of outcomes

Tier 1, Internal outcomes

How we know our program is working: families making progress on their Nutrition Journey within 6 months and sustaining it at 12+ months, families moving from food insecure to food secure, and families reporting confidence in sustaining plant-rich nourishment independently.

Tier 2, School-facing outcomes

As school partnerships develop, we'll track the outcomes schools care about, attendance, focus and readiness, and nutrition-related nurse visits. Today these are baselined through family self-reports, until formal school data-sharing is in place.

2026 Goals

What success looks like this year

150 families

active in the transformation program, with a baseline Nutrition Journey Index on file for 90%.

200 children

receiving customized market boxes every single week.

23,000+

shelf-stable servings: freeze-dried snacks plus preserved and freeze-dried fruits and vegetables for cooking.

Community impact
Environmental impact

Every pound rescued is a pound diverted

Through Bumps & Bruises, we divert produce from the landfill and turn it into nourishment. In 2026 we're quantifying and assigning economic value to that waste diversion, strengthening the case for funders and partners alike.
