Fighting Food Insecurity by Addressing Transportation Barriers
When we talk to our neighbors about food security, one of the most common struggles we hear is that they don’t have a vehicle to get them to a pantry or food distribution.
How We Are Doing It
Bus Stop Pop-Up Food Pantries
Harvesters brings food to area bus stops. The bus stop pop-up food pantry model offers full choice and provides food (and other necessities) tailored to the needs of bus riders. This is a newer initiative, so please stay tuned as we add more locations.
Current Pop-Up Locations:
Kansas City:
39th and Warwick
131 E. 39th Street
Kansas City, MO 64111
First Monday
of each month
11:30 a.m. until food runs out
Lawrence:
2315 Bob Billings Parkway,
Lawrence, KS 66045
Third Thursday
of each month
from 3-5 p.m.
