Free Fresh Produce Weekly

New Partnership Announcement

We're excited to announce that RCYO has partnered with 2nd Harvest to participate in their Zilch program! This initiative aims to provide no-cost fresh produce to our community by addressing barriers often found in other food distribution methods.

Here’s how it works:

  • Produce Delivery: Every Friday afternoon at 3:00 PM, 2nd Harvest will deliver a pallet of fresh produce to our office.

  • Distribution Location: We will distribute the produce at our designated booth outside Salem Lutheran Church (where our office is located).

  • What’s Available: The first week, we received blackberries, lemons, apples, grapefruit, cucumbers, and more. Produce may vary from week to week.

The distribution time can vary depending on the volume of produce, but it typically lasts up to two hours. We’re thrilled to be part of this program and look forward to serving our community with fresh, healthy food!

Programs Paused for Continued Development

Building Capacity for More Effective Programs

We have decided to pause recurring youth programs while we develop more effective processes and policies for supporting participants, volunteers, and staff during program activities, as we continue our pivot to mobile programs while we search for a permanent location in West Central.

We understand that this decision impacts youth in our community. We plan to announce pop-up youth opportunities during the summer and will share more updates in the coming weeks.

We are so grateful for our network of youth who have participated in our programs. We also appreciate our community’s understanding as we make changes to programs during an exciting season of growth for our organization.
