SAFE Markets: Sanitary Allocation of Food Essentials
With the health and wellness of the community being a top priority in these trying times, the SAFE Market initiative is an online pre-order and touchless drive-thru market that provides community access to pre-packed food bags that contain fresh, locally sourced food. The SAFE Market program will serve as an emergency response to support local CA communities during the COVID-19 Pandemic by providing community access to healthy, locally sourced food while minimizing product handling and large public gatherings. (In special circumstances, SAFE Market can offer delivery to high risk individuals.)
