Community Programs

The direct benefit of a local food system is the connection it makes between farmer and consumer. Tahoe Food Hub leverages the funds raised from our Farm to Market program to support our community outreach efforts. We go beyond the traditional market to educate our community and lend a hand to those in need. When people know where their food comes from, they better understand the social, economic and environmental health benefits of a local food system.

GIVING BOXES

Thanks to generous donations from our community, the Giving box program provides free, local produce to those facing food insecurity in our region. Our Giving Box program compliments other nutrition assistance programs and ensures people in need receive enough healthy fruits and vegetables. The program also ensures farmers are paid a fair price while recipients receive fresh, first quality produce.

In North Lake Tahoe, we partner with Tahoe Truckee Unified School District’s Food Pantry Program, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, and the Calvary Chapel to distribute Giving Boxes.
