“Holy moly, there’s so many people who need this food.”

As an urban farmer, Arthur Gray Morgan was shocked by how much food was tossed away at the end of a farmer’s market.

Morgan thought, “Holy moly, there’s so many people who need this food.”

And so, Gather Baltimore was born.

Now Morgan and a group of volunteers are bringing healthy food access to neighborhoods throughout Baltimore. They harvest, pick up donations from local stores and collect unsold produce from the farmer’s market and deliver it to local communities – for free.

The need for this service is immense, so Morgan recently purchased a refrigerated food truck to scale up the program and increase their delivery schedule.

Gather Baltimore has partnered with GiveCorps to pay off the loan and keep the truck making deliveries.  You can keep the Gather truck on the road.

Recently, Gather delivered 4000 pounds of potatoes to Moveable Feast. Then, 4 tons of fresh vegetables days later. Imagine how many people benefited from this food. It wouldn’t have happened without the truck or Gather Baltimore.

I want to deliver the food where it’s needed the most!
