Gemma's Angels We are looking for a volunteer team of grant writers who are willing to write for local, state, federal and private grants. The grant writer would also request support from local and regional foundations.

We are a non-profit IRS 501(c)3 organization which:

  • Purchases fruit and vegetables from local farmers (or local gardeners) and distribute that produce free of charge to soup kitchens, shelters and food pantries using our Mobile Farmer's Market.
  • Uses the Mobile Farmer's Market to operate an All-Kids Mobile Farmer's Market where school-age children can pick and choose their own produce to take home to supplement weekend feeding programs with an added nutrition educational component.
  • We also use the Mobile Farmer's Market to operate a Reverse Food Truck which appears at local public events and collects food (produce) vs. selling food.

Mission Statement

OUR VISION We want to change the way we feed the poor.

Description

Gemma’s Angels is an IRS 502(c)3 non-profit organization which envisions a world where hunger is a temporary inconvenience rather than a life sentence.

HOW WE ADDRESS IMMEDIATE NEEDS

  • We purchase produce from local sources when possible and collect fresh produce from local donor gardeners. We distribute the produce free of charge to soup kitchens, shelters and food banks.
  • We also operate an All-Kids Mobile Farmer's Market where school-age children can pick and choose their own produce to take home to supplement weekend feeding programs with an added educational component.
  • We operate a Truck Farm Trailer Program that’s a traveling, edible exhibit that allows youth to get a hands-on look at the source of the food that fuels their growing bodies and minds. The program will visit youth groups, camps, schools, etc. to deliver interactive and educational lessons about the benefits of nutritious produce. It's designed to engage school children in healthy eating and to teach sustainability.
  • We conduct Christmas parties at local homeless shelters and annually provide holiday happiness to over 150 children and adults.
