Our Work
Cultivating Community Access through Free Farmers Markets
Our grassroots initiative to transform surplus food into community nourishment has evolved into a sustainable model for accessible, outdoor farmers markets.
Through strong local partnerships and a commitment to food recovery, we’re making it easier for communities to share surplus produce where it’s needed most. Whether you’re inspired to start a free farmers market in your own community or join our efforts locally, FoodWeb’s network and resources support every step toward building a more sustainable and equitable food system.
Connecting Surplus With Those In Need
Web of Partnership
FoodWeb connects with local food recovery organizations, farmers, and community partners to bridge the gap between surplus produce and communities in need. By collaborating with these key players, we create a network that facilitates the redistribution of fresh, high-quality food.
Gather & Deliver
We partner with organizations like Sharing Excess to rescue surplus fruits and vegetables from places like Hunts Point Market. This fresh produce is then transported directly to local food pantries and outdoor farmers markets, ensuring it reaches the communities that need it most.
Nourish The Community
Through our outdoor farmers markets, we provide a dignified, enjoyable shopping experience for families, offering them access to fresh, nutritious foods. Our efforts reduce food waste while promoting health and well-being, helping to build stronger, more connected communities.
In Gratitude To Our Community Partners
At FoodWeb, we are incredibly grateful for the dedicated community of volunteers and partners who make our mission possible. Their commitment to fighting food insecurity is the driving force behind our free farmers markets, bringing fresh, surplus produce directly to neighbors in need. Every week, our volunteers give their time and effort to gather, set
up, and share food in a welcoming and dignified environment. Thanks to their passion and dedication, Food Web is able to provide reliable access to healthy produce while building a stronger, more connected community. Together, we’re creating lasting change, one market at a time.
