Grassroots Grocery

Overview

Grassroots Grocery is a nonprofit organization focused on food justice, providing dignified access to fresh food for communities in need, particularly in New York City neighborhoods like the Bronx and Harlem. Founded by Dan Zauderer, the organization operates a unique model that mobilizes volunteers and community partnerships to deliver fresh, healthy food directly to those facing barriers to traditional food pantries.

The organization runs two main programs: Community Refrigerators, which are local fridges offering easy access to fresh food, and Rapid Rescue, a volunteer-driven network that rescues and distributes groceries to community members. Grassroots Grocery serves over 1,200 families weekly and has distributed millions of pounds of fresh produce, emphasizing joy, dignity, and human connection in its mission. With a strong volunteer base and numerous community-led distribution sites, the organization is dedicated to supporting families and individuals experiencing food insecurity.
