The People’s Pantry update🥫🩵

Every weekend, we’re out on the land clearing a little more, building a little more, and bringing this vision to life. We have some really beautiful plans for this space over the next 10 years, and we’re so excited to see where it takes us.

We’re currently halfway to our fundraising goal and working toward opening by the end of the year !!!

If you want to get involved in any capacity, we’d love to hear from you. You can donate, help us gather supplies, organize a fundraiser, come out and volunteer on the land, share the project, or find a way for your business, company, or workplace to get involved.

Email us at [email protected] if you want to be part of a more food-secure Miami 🫶🏽

Once a month, our homebound distro makes sure our elderly and homebound neighbors get fed, no exceptions

This Saturday we need 5 more volunteers to make it happen. Got a few hours this weekend?

Last Saturday we gathered, we cleaned, we planted 🌱

In awe of how much life the land already has, and so grateful for my Buddy System MIA team and Overtown Farms Inc. for bringing people together for such a beautiful project.

We need your hands Saturday June 13th (next Saturday) 🙌

Before The People’s Pantry can open its doors, we gotta get the site ready. Clearing debris, removing litter, transforming this vacant lot into something our community deserves.

And we can’t do it without you.

📍 1212 NW 1st Ct, Miami FL 33136

Last week, we had the opportunity to rescue food from the event! Thank you so much for thinking of us and making sure all that good food didn’t go to waste! 💙🙏

We were able to save an abundance of food and stock our community fridges, where one neighbor came out and told us how grateful they were for the ready-made food 🥹
