I wrote several months ago about West Oakland’s struggles to attract a new grocery store. I recently learned about an amazing grassroots organization that offers low cost, healthy food alternatives to people living in West Oakland. Every Tuesday from 2pm to 7pm, the People’s Grocery sells boxes of low-cost organic and seasonal fruits and vegetables in the heart of West Oakland. In addition, they also have monthly events in West Oakland, provide cooking classes and workshops for youth and they run several greenhouses and urban gardens.
If you want to get involved, the People’s Grocery welcomes volunteers and donations. Or course, you don’t have to live in West Oakland to buy their delicious produce or go to their events.
