Since 2016, we have worked to increase food security, promote equitable food access and work towards a sustainable and diverse local food system. The Veggie Van connects Niagara County residents with access to locally grown and produced fruits, veggies, proteins, dairy and more.
All of the food distributed is sourced from farms in Western New York encouraging residents to “eat local!" This also allows us to directly support our farmers and producers.
The CCE Veggie Van Farm Truck was funded by the Highmark BlueFund Western New York grant in 2021.We are also the recipients of 2 NYSDOH grants; Nourish NY and HPNAP. With this funding we will be able to provide 10,000 Veggie+ bags a year FREE to Niagara County residents.
Thank you everyone for your support!
