      People's Grocery - Non-Profit - www.peoplesgrocery.org
      People's Grocery's mission is to build a local food system that improves the health and economy of the West Oakland community. Our mission and work have excited people from a number of sectors and walks of life, and attracted a surprising amount of media attention at the local and national level since we started in 2003. Now, we want to get smarter about how to use media proactively as a social change mechanism among our constituents, partners, food industries and policymakers. The Free Range Youtopia grant would be enormous value added, helping us develop a holistic visibility strategy that will take our message and our social change agenda to a whole new level.

            It's hard to find a group more dedicated to what they do, and engaged with the community by its very nature! Would be wonderful to provide them more resources to pump up the good work even further.

            People's Grocery is doing the real work. Let's make sure they get this money so they can tell us about it.

            As a West Oakland resident, I am angered and saddened that many of us have no access to a full-service grocery store. Many more are home-bound or have no transportation. People's Grocery provides direct access to fresh produce and healthy snacks. And with their Grub Box program, residents can purchase healthy food at an affordable price. This service is critical to my community. Thank you to all who keep People's Grocery running! We need you and appreciate you!

            People's Grocery is a world class model for making sure everyone can eat home-grown carrots instead of corporate-grown Burger King. It isn't easy, but they are doing it.

            Where there's more liquor stores than groceries stores, West Oakland needs People's Grocery but a lot of people still don't know about it. They deserve this 100% to help them continue their work in bringing healthy, affordable food to those who need it the most.

            This group really makes a difference as a grassroots, direct service to their community! They are in their community helping by nutrition education (Youth & Adult), & healthy organic food in the hands of the people who really need it. You would be hard pressed to find a better organization.

            If more operations like Peeps existed across the country the health of low income and impoverished populations would be greatly inhanced. Sweet.
