Fresh Food for Seniors

Organized by Council Member Gale Brewer

The program offers a bag of locally-grown fresh produce for $10 cash (a $15+ value)

every two weeks through to November 18.

It’s pay-as-you-go, not a subscription, so it’s a great value with no need for a commitment—

just a little advance planning. Produce is ordered by GrowNYC at wholesale prices from

farmers in NY, NJ, CT, and PA.

Payment of $10 cash is due by 12:00pm on PAYMENT TUESDAYS

Pick up your produce on PICK UP WEDNESDAY BETWEEN 1:30pm - 3:00pm.

Order by dropping off your payment at the Project Open office; please bring your payment with your cash in a sealed envelope with the following information written clearly on it:

‍ ‍1. Your Name 2. Your Email Address 3. Building #/Apt # 4. Your Phone Number

If the office is closed, please slip it under the Project Open office door.

When you pick up your produce on PICK UP WEDNESDAYS, you will have the opportunity to sign up and pay $10 cash for next offering in two weeks..
