Five years in, we've delivered hundreds of thousands of servings of produce. We're now building the systems to prove lasting, sustained transformation.
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.
eat most or all of the fresh produce we deliver each week.
want even more fresh produce each week, the number-one request.
feel confident cooking with the fresh vegetables we deliver.
All figures are self-reported by the families we serve.
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.
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.

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.
