A hub is how a street eats well together
Eating well should fit the life you already have. A Community Hub keeps fresh produce close to home, shared by a handful of neighbours, picked up at a spot you already pass.
Why we bring boxes to hubs, not doorsteps
We could leave a box at every door. We choose hubs instead, because a hub does something a doorstep cannot. It keeps the price fair by keeping the route short. It keeps the food fresh by moving it quickly. And it puts neighbours in the same place once a week, which is how a community starts to feel like one.
Every hub is hosted by someone who offered up a small space so the people around them could eat a little better. The table is bigger when it is shared.
Two ways to host
From your home
You have a covered porch, a garage, or a side entrance that stays dry and clean. You let your neighbours know, and a few of them sign up. We bring the boxes on delivery day, and your neighbours swing by during the pickup window to grab theirs.
From your workplace or business
You have a lobby, a break room, a storefront, or any indoor space that is clean and easy to reach. A few coworkers or customers sign up. We bring the boxes on delivery day, and pickups happen during the window, the same as a hub at home.
What hosting involves
Hosting comes with a few simple things that keep the food safe and the experience good for everyone.
Your pickup spot stays clean, dry, and covered from the weather. Boxes sit at least 6 inches off the ground on a table, shelf, or rack. Pets and other animals stay away from the pickup area during the pickup window, with service animals as the only exception. You give us the pickup hours that fit your week, and we share that window with your members. We walk you through it all when we connect, and it is laid out in a short written agreement that you sign before your hub goes live.
Two ways we say thank you
off your own box, for as long as your hub is active
in credit for every new household you bring on who joins and gets their first box
The neighbours you invite get our best welcome on their first box. Hosting feeds the people around you and gives a little back to you.
Raise your hand
Tell us a little about your space. We will reach out, walk you through the program, answer your questions, and see if it is a good fit. Two minutes, no commitment yet.
We would be glad to help you get started.
