Massachusetts Avenue Project (MAP) is a nonprofit urban farm located on Buffalo's West Side. MAP employs youth year round and teaches them job readiness and leadership skills through farming, our Mobile Market, kitchen and nutrition education, as well as food policy and civic engagement.

Throughout the year, FreshFix partners with MAP to supply fresh, local produce boxes for distribution at two Buffalo Neighborhood Health Center (NHC) locations. "The season was a tremendous success in our eyes," said MAP's Market Director Danielle Rovillo. "Thanks to FreshFix's generosity we were able to distribute free and/or very low cost boxes to an estimated 40 families per week." Recipients use MAP's pay-what-you-can model are able to apply their SNAP benefits toward produce boxes too. 

MAP believes everyone has a right to nutritious, affordable, accessible and culturally relevant food. Their mobile market initiative improves access to healthy food in underserved areas of Buffalo.
