Buying groceries is a routine part of life for most of us.

But imagine how complicated and expensive that process becomes if you don't have a car.

Feed the West is a free grocery program that recently changed its strategy to help get nutritious food to those facing transportation barriers and the west End of Louisville.

Change to Change Tomorrow is a black woman led nonprofit here in Louisville and our biggest mission is to create barrier free resources or provide barrier for resources.

We are having pop ups at our office Tuesday through Thursday, and we realize that a lot of our Western residents face the transportation barrier.

So to combat that, we decided that we wanted to pop up in our neighborhoods instead of having people come to us.

So we decided to do grocery kiosks.

So we have sheds placed in three neighborhoods right now.

But the goal is to have them in all non-Western neighborhoods.

Some people I heard, came, you know, 40 get food right now at this moment.

And it's a blessing for Yahoo!

Yahoo!

Giving us a little something to take home.

Know to put on our stuff.

I know having food and nutrition is a human right.

I believe that it shouldn't be profiting off of.

And a lot of people in these neighborhoods don't have access to fresh foods or the food just isn't there.

So like in the West, then we have over 60,000 residents and we have two grocery stores, two Kroger's, and there's one on 28th and then the one on in Portland.

And each of those stores are serving over 30,000 people.

So it's it's impossible to keep the shelves stocked.

It's impossible for you to feed all those people and for all those people to have quality food.

So a lot of people are not getting what they need from the places who are supposed to be providing it.

It's been really good.

We had a lot of our consistent residents who've been with us for a while come and show up and we've also had a lot of new faces and we're in a new neighborhood and we pretty much almost was out of food by 1230.

So it is a pretty good turnout starting at 1230 minutes to get rid of most of our food.

So we get our donation from Trader Joe's.

So if you've ever been to Trader Joe's, you know, they have organic produce.

We get meat, dairy and eggs.

We also get flowers from them to give out to our residents.

And today we actually had a fruit that I've never heard of.

Miss Mosinee, what you call that fruit, Let's say a fruit called a persimmon.

A persimmon.

I've been telling everybody, like, eat, this is supposed to be really sweet.

Come back and tell me what it is next week.

Like, tell me if you like it.

Our goal is to have our community kiosk to be community ran and operated.

We want to have them colorized so we can actually get refrigeration and keep food in there.

And we instead of us coming to the neighborhood once a week, like our neighborhood, would be hosting these pop ups for themselves.

So the community will be coming together to organize donations and rerouting them to their neighbors.

We are really trying to create a family here and grow our families and our West End neighborhoods that.
