Veggiecation is a children's culinary nutrition education program that introduces children to the nutritious and delicious world of vegetables!  Our mission is to promote and educate communities on the health benefits of vegetables and how to prepare them in simple, unique, affordable, and most importantly, delicious ways! We are excited to further this mission by raising food for a truly unique food pantry.

Beyond Hunger is one of the three CAMBA emergency food pantries in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn. Beyond Hunger alone serves 4,500 members of the community each month. It operates on a client-choice/supermarket-style system, where clients choose individual food items rather than receiving pre-packed bags, as they would at traditional pantries. 
 
The food pantry is run in large part by volunteers from the community it serves. There is an on-site hydroponic garden which can grow up to 84 heads of lettuce, bok choy, and other leafy greens a week, all of which are distributed to the community! 
 
We've gone to Beyond Hunger to provide tastings on a couple of their service days. The community has been so warm and open to what we can offer them. We asked them what food items were most necessary and these are the items you will find on our store page. Please help us help them to keep their community nourished! 
 
To support our drive, select the "Donate" button and pick the food you would like to donate. It will be delivered for you and you'll get a tax receipt for your donation.
 
You can read more about Beyond Hunger on our blog: http://veggiecation.com/veggiecations-blog.html.
 
Thank you so much for your support!
