What Matters? Connections Matter.
Rio Grande Food Project
"Drivers & Growers" is a partnership between Rio Grande Food Project (RGFP), Fathers Building Futures and the Agri-Cultura Network. How does it work? RGFP “rescues” safe edible food before it is thrown away at local stores, distributors and farms. They then provide living wage work experience to truck driver trainees through Fathers Building Futures. To supplement healthy foods, RGFP grows produce in its Rain Catchment Community Garden, and leverages the Agri-Cultura Network to offer local produce to low-income individuals.
