Wholesome Food

We are able to offer families wholesome food, while also reducing waste, improving America’s nutrition security, and fighting climate change. All by rescuing food!

Adelante volunteers pick up donations from Trader Joe’s TO & WLV, Target WLV, Whole Foods TO, and from the Thousand Oaks Farmers Market. We glean the donations, pack them up, and take them to our free food distributions.

  • High quality, fresh foods are essential to health and well-being.

  • Improving the availability of healthy foods significantly reduces chronic diseases and health disparities.

  • Fresh fruits and vegetables are often the first to be removed from the shopping cart when finances are tight because they have limited life before they must be cooked or eaten.
