Market on the Move (MOM)
The 3000 Club is a group of like-minded individuals, small business owners, volunteers and non-profit agency(ies) and organization(s) who contribute either $100, $500 or $1,000 per year or $10 per month in order to help rescue the millions of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables that would be thrown in the landfill in Nogales, Arizona and distribute it instead for free to the needy and hungry families, especially their children.
Due to the challenging economy we are currently experiencing, thousands of families have lost their jobs. Men and women, especially the children are at risk of getting Type Two Diabetes for lack of fresh, nutritional fruits and vegetables in their diets. The people who need the free produce may very well be your next door neighbor or your close friend who are undergoing transition in their current lifestyle.
Market On The Move provides a Farmers’ Market atmosphere at locations throughout the Phoenix and Tucson Metropolitan areas where partners and supporters of this program can come on a regular basis to not only pick up the free produce for distribution but also to acquire health education on Diabetes and Cancer Prevention as well as many other health issues.
The volume of produce being thrown way exceeds our ability to rescue and distribute it to the needy thereby creating a need for thousands of partners and supporters to join with us in our food rescue efforts.
We need your support and encourage you to join us in meeting our goal this coming produce season to distribute over One Million pounds or $1.5 Million of free produce thru Market On The Move!
