HELP US GET THIS FOOD BUS ON THE ROAD!Arcadia's goal is to raise enough to purchase and retrofit a 25-foot school bus, convert it to run on biofuel, and have the whole shebang up and making market stops and school visits around Washington, DC in early summer 2011. The Mobile Market will be where food is needed -- in low-income neighborhoods known as "food deserts" -- bringing healthy, local food to the places people naturally gather. And we need YOU to help make it happen!
IT'S ALL OR NOTHINGWe need the community to pledge $15,000 by Earth Day (April 22), or no money changes hands and it gets a lot harder for us to get healthy food to folks who need it. Together, we can make this happen!
GIVE WHAT YOU CAN, TELL YOUR FRIENDSGet yourself a hip bumper sticker for just a $25 donation. Or be the envy of all of your friends as you point out your name artfully painted on the side of the mobile market, which you earned with a $1000 donation.*
