👉 The Specials Project is an initiative by the nonprofit organization The Food Trust, aimed at addressing food insecurity in New York City. It focuses on providing fresh, healthy produce to underserved communities through a network of farmers' markets, community gardens, and partnerships with local food retailers. The project includes the distribution of Specials, which are pre-packaged boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables delivered directly to low-income households, often through a mobile app or community drop-off points. This initiative not only improves access to nutritious food but also supports local agriculture and educates residents on healthy eating habits.
