Grey Bears improves the health and well-being of seniors and our community through food and meal deliveries, volunteerism, resource conservation and recycling.
Our Grocery Rescue program partners with 25+ local farms, stores, and delis to recover imperfect or short-dated food six days a week. This food is shared with seniors through our no-cost market and weekday lunches. By diverting food from landfills to seniors’ plates, Grey Bears provides sustainable, dependable access to fresh food that nourishes senior bodies, minds, and souls.
Our Healthy Food No-Cost Market on the Grey Bears Campus offers a vital lifeline to food and social connection to local seniors, providing high-quality produce and proteins rescued from local farms and stores. In the past year, Grey Bears diverted 1.7 million pounds of food from the landfill to create 63,000 meals and serve 34,000 visits to our market.
Grey Bears has been life-changing. I come one to two times per week. This food means everything to us. Since I take care of our 4 kids full time, and only my husband works, it can be so hard to get enough. Grey Bears really helps a lot — and I know it helps a lot of other people too.
