Why Grab & Go

Fresh food No lines No hassle.

Reserve your Grab & Go order online and pick it up when it's convenient for you. For just $3, you'll receive a bag of rescued fruits and vegetables that can help stretch your grocery budget while reducing food waste.

Skip the long waits, save money, eat more fresh produce, and bring home healthy food for your family—all through a simple, dignified pickup experience.

Grab & Go

Our Grab & Go Produce Bags are filled with recovered fresh produce — perfectly good fruits and vegetables rescued before going to waste. Because the produce is recovered, bag contents vary day by day based on what is fresh and available. Every bag is 100% plant-based.

Access for All

This program is about making healthy food accessible to everyone at deep discounts during a time of rising food and housing costs. By combining food recovery with community distribution, MLCS and the Fair Foods Distribution Network help families access fresh produce at prices far below traditional grocery stores.

Building Skills, Confidence, and Career Pathways

Workforce Development and Adult Education are a key part of economic mobility because food security and access to opportunity go hand in hand. Through job training, ESOL classes, digital literacy, and personalized career coaching, MLCS helps residents build the skills needed for greater income stability and long-term financial independence.

While our Grab & Go Affordable Produce Hub addresses immediate household needs, our workforce and education programs focus on long-term solutions—supporting community members in moving from short-term assistance to sustainable economic growth. Together, these programs create a pathway that connects basic needs with opportunity and empowerment.
