Earth Day is Every Day at ACCFB

As Earth Day rolls around we want to celebrate and motivate our community’s drive to build a more sustainable future. Climate change and ecological injustices disproportionately affect people of color and people who face food insecurity. We have a responsibility to address our environmental impact and work to mitigate the harms our operations cause.
In addition to ACCFB’s investment in solar panels for our warehouse and adding hybrid trucks to our fleet, our Sustainability Committee has also worked with teams across the organization to:

• Compost 90% of our bad produce or donate it to a hog farm near Salinas
• Switch to 100% recycled printer paper
• Reduce single-use glove waste by over 75%

Uprooting the systemic causes of hunger and planting new systems that are democratic, equitable, and inclusive is core to ACCFB’s mission as is distributing nutritious groceries.

In the latest blog from our Policy team, read how our legislative priorities are centered around removing the barriers that prevent equitable access to food as a human right.
