Growing the Good Food District

Located in beautiful, sunny San Diego, the area that Project New Village serves includes much of the City of San Diego's Promise Zone (one of only 22 such communities of concentrated poverty nationwide to be designated by the federal government for supplemental resource investment), National City, and the City of Lemon Grove. The People's Produce Mobile Farmers Market is the first farmers' market on wheels serving low-income neighborhoods in San Diego County, and you will be a critical part of this program's operations, helping to recruit, maintain, and retain volunteers to create sustainable programs and projects that improve access to healthy foods for marginalized and underserved residents. We hope that you will consider serving with our team that is working to transform the food supply system to improve food security by removing barriers that impede access to good food through community/civic engagement and building alternative food ecosystems.
