Driving Food Security in Cities

ARK partners with Grab and Move It rider partners to bring ARK Feed Back in urban communities!

ARK Feed Back is a vegetable exchange program, where participants bring 3 kinds of vegetables to barter with others for a chance to bring home 20+ varieties of fresh produce!

Through this program, rider partners are encouraged to grow their own vegetables, transforming their backyards, empty lots, rooftops, and even small spaces in their front yards into thriving urban gardens!
