Earlier this week, I made a call to action to several companies – Schwan’s, Peapod, Coborns Delivers – to help address the lack of access to healthy food like fruits and vegetables in some neighborhoods.  These areas are often called “food deserts.”  In response to this blog, I have heard back from two of the companies.  Their responses were:

Schwan’s via FB:  Hi Annette, thanks for the link. I’ll definitely check it out. Meanwhile, take a look at our inventory of fruits, vegetables and the LiveSmart line.

Peapod via FB:  We are actually working a on a project to help bring food to food deserts in Chicago (http://bit.ly/cvxhsu). Stay tuned for more info on our progress.

I encourage you to follow the link to Peapod’s project.  It’s right on tracking in partnering with local organizations trying to impact change and help people live healthier lives.  Hats off to Peapod!

Can others follow their lead?  Can you start a revolution of your own by sending this idea onto businesses in your community with refrigerated trucks.

NuVal.com can help companies decide what to load on the trucks.
