<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Spring 2025</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Us</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Free Grocery Store is a free food pantry that runs a monthly in-person and delivery food pantry. We’ve been distributing food since 2020! We are an all volunteer-run operation, and rely on our community to make our pantries possible. Food is a human right, and we believe our community should have access to fresh, delicious food all the time.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get Involved</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Want to help us continue providing free food to our community? Volunteer with us! Help us run our food pantries, translate our media into different languages, find different food sources, and whatever else you might be interested in! Visit GNVFGS.Carrd.co to fill out our volunteer form or email us at <a href="mailto:info@gnvfgs.org">info@gnvfgs.org</a> to introduce yourself.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Food Pantry Updates</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">In-Person Pantry</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The easiest way to get food is to go to our <strong>in-person pantry on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Civic Media Center (433. S. Main St). Sign-up starts at 2 p.m. Pantry opens at 3:30 p.m. </strong>You can choose your own food according to your needs. At times we may have limits due to supply. No ID, proof-of-need, or appointment required.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Upcoming pantry dates:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>March 11</li>



<li>April 8</li>



<li>May 13</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Delivery Pantry</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We deliver food monthly to households who can’t get to our in-person pantry due to disability or lack of transportation. Beginning in 2025, <strong>Free Grocery Store will offer a multiple-month grocery delivery service, rather than a monthly sign up.</strong> Our first delivery season will run from March-May, meaning people will receive a delivery in March, April and May.<strong> </strong>Our next sign-up period will tentatively begin in June.<strong> </strong>This date may change due to the unpredictable nature of weather in Florida.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Please support other groups beyond Free Grocery Store that are providing free resources for our community!</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Food Not Bombs: </strong>Serving tasty free vegan meals Fridays at 6:30 pm downtown. For a world without hunger, homelessness or cops. Follow on Instagram: @GainesvilleFoodNotBombs</li>



<li><strong>Free Store: </strong>Created with those most marginalized in mind, but all are welcome. Once a month (3rd Saturday of every month), hosting a &#8220;pop-up&#8221; store where everything is free at the Civic Media Center. Follow on Instagram: @GNV_FreeStore</li>



<li><strong>Books to Prisoners: </strong>Serving all incarcerated folks in FL. Packing books 1st &amp; 3rd Tuesdays, 6-7:30pm at the Civic Media Center. Follow on Instagram: @GNVBooks2Prisoners</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Free Fruit Edición 4</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Primavera 2025</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sobre Nosotros</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Free Grocery Store es una despensa de alimentos que organiza una despensa mensual de recursos en persona y una despensa personal de comida a su casa. ¡Nosotros hemos repartido comida desde el 2020! Somos una organización totalmente coordinada por voluntarios, y dependemos de nuestra comunidad para que nuestras distribuciones de alimentos sean posibles. La comida es un derecho humano e imprescindible, y nosotros creemos que nuestra comunidad debe tener acceso a comida fresca y deliciosa a cualquier momento.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Involucrese</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">¿Quiere ayudarnos a proveer alimentos gratis a nuestra comunidad? ¡Registrese como voluntario! Ayúdanos a organizar nuestras despensas de alimentos, a traducir nuestra información a otro lenguaje, a encontrar recursos de provisiones, y cualquier cosa que les interese. ¡Accede a la página web GNVFGS.Carrd.co para llenar nuestra forma voluntaria o envíanos un correo en el sitio <a href="mailto:info@gnvfgs.org">info@gnvfgs.org</a>!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Noticias Sobre la Despensa de Alimentos</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Despensa Mensual en Persona</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La manera más fácil de recoger comida es a través de nuestra <strong>despensa en persona el segundo martes de cada mes en el Civic Media Center (situado en 433 S. Main St). La registración empieza a las 2 p.m. La despensa oficialmente abre a las 3:30 p.m.</strong> Puede elegir su comida de acuerdo con sus necesidades. En algunas ocasiones tenemos límites de comida debido a falta de provisiones. Ningún tipo de identificación, ni prueba de necesidad, ni sita es requerida.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Próximas fechas de despensa:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>11 de marzo</li>



<li>8 de abril</li>



<li>13 de mayo</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Despensa Personal en Casa</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nosotros entregamos comida mensualmente a familias que no tienen acceso a nuestros recursos en persona debido a discapacidad o falta de transportación. Empezando en el 2025, <strong>Free Grocery Store estará ofreciendo un servicio de entrega de alimentos a través de varios meses, en lugar de una registración mensual.</strong> Nuestra primera época de entregas sería de marzo a mayo, lo cual significa que recibirán una entrega en marzo, abril, y mayo. La próxima época de entregas empezará tentativamente en junio. Esta fecha tiene posibilidad de cambiar debido al clima imprevisible de la Florida.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">¡Por favor, apoya a otros grupos similares a Free Grocery Store que proveen recursos gratis para nuestra comunidad!</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Food Not Bombs: </strong>Ofrecen comida vegana gratis los viernes a las 6:30 p.m. en el downtown. Serving tasty free vegan meals Fridays at 6:30 pm downtown. Para un mundo sin hambre, falta de vivienda, o vigilancia policial. Siguelos en Instagram: @GainesvilleFoodNotBombs</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Horario de vacaciones</em></h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Holiday Break Schedule</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Free Grocery Store will be taking Dec. 17 &#8211; Jan. 9 off for our holiday break. We’ll resume service on Tuesday, Jan. 10 for our weekly in-person pantry . Deliveries will resume by the following schedule:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Jan. 10 &#8211; Clients west of 34th St &amp; SW 23rd Ter</li>



<li>Jan. 17 &#8211; Clients east of 34th St &amp; SW 23rd Ter</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reconfirmation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Delivery clients: your last day to confirm that you still need deliveries is <strong>Dec. 16</strong>. If you’ve already confirmed, thank you! If you don’t confirm by this date, service will be stopped and you will have to rejoin our waitlist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Calling or emailing us alone will not complete the confirmation. We will need additional information from you to proceed.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We encourage all delivery clients who are mobile to switch to using our in-person pantry. This allows you to pick your own food and frees up capacity to deliver to homebound clients and clients without transportation.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rebuilding Mobile Pantries</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier this year, we successfully piloted mobile pantry distributions in Holly Heights. Moving forward, we hope to partner with residents to help us manage neighborhood mobile pantries. If you live in the following neighborhoods and want to help lead a distribution, please reach out to us!</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Holly Heights</li>



<li>Tower Oaks</li>

<li>Arredondo</li>



<li>Phoenix</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Getting Involved</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you care about making nutritious food free and abundant for everyone? Here are ways to get involved with Free Grocery Store:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sort food and pack delivery orders at the Civic Media Center every Tuesday!</li>



<li>Deliver orders for our homebound or transportation-limited clients every Tuesday! Takes about an hour and a half.</li>



<li>Help out at our garden every Sunday at 9 am, at McRorie Community Garden.</li>

We organized a supply drive for comrades in Mutual Aid Disaster Relief, Central Florida Mutual Aid, and We Rise 4 Wellness to do food relief in Southwest Florida, Orlando, and Arcadia! In total we donated 1.5 tons of food, water, and supplies. Thanks to Gainesville for showing up to support our friends further south! See more of our efforts on our Instagram @admin</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Free Grocery Store va a tomar un descanso <strong>del 3 al 16 de julio</strong> para relajar y disfrutar. El servicio de entrega, despensa en persona, y lista de espera no estarán disponibles durante el descanso.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vamos a entregar como siempre el 21 y 28 de junio. Después del descanso, las entregas se reanudarán según este horario:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Área A: 19 de julio y cada dos semanas</li>



<li>Área B: 26 de julio y cada dos semanas</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">¡Contáctenos si tiene preguntas!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quiénes somos</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quizás nos conozca como su entrega de comida regular. Queremos introducirnos formalmente y decirle nuestras motivaciones para FGS y nuestra misión.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Somos una operación de ayuda mutua voluntaria de dos años. Aspiramos poner fin a la inseguridad alimentaria en Gainesville. Servimos casi 200 casas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Luchamos contra un sistema que prioriza lucros sobre la salud y bien-estar. Creemos que la comida es bella y debe ser accesible, relevante y saludable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Queremos construir un sistema alimentario poseído y controlado por su comunidad. Destruimos las barreras a acceder la comida que merecemos.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Acontecimientos</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aquí verá oportunidades para conocernos más y colaborar con nosotros:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">El jardín</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Es posible que recibiera verduras cultivadas en nuestro jardín comunitario. Si le interesa aprender cómo cultivar su propia comida, cada domingo nos reunimos al Jardín Comunitario McRorie para planificar, sembrar, y cosechar. No se necesita saber cómo cultivar plantas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">615 SE 4th Ave, 9 am.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">El retiro</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nos reuniremos el 16 de julio para planificar nuestro futuro y nuevos proyectos, y entender feedback de voluntarios y recipientes. Habrá más información de pronto.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Despensa móviles</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Estamos empezando distribuciones en Gainesville donde operamos despensas en vecindarios. Le enviaremos más info si la siguiente despensa está cerca de Ud.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Contáctenos</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Free Grocery Store will be taking time off from July 3 to 16 for some much needed rest and relaxation! Our delivery service, in-person pantry, and waitlist will not be operating during this time. We&#8217;ll be delivering as usual on June 21 and June 28. After the break, your deliveries will resume according to this schedule:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>&#8220;A&#8221; area: July 19 &amp; every two weeks after</li>



<li>&#8220;B&#8221; area: July 26 &amp; every two weeks after</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Please contact us if you have questions!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who we are</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You probably know us as your Tuesday box of food, but we wanted to introduce ourselves more formally, what we’re about, and what motivates us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re a 2-year-old volunteer mutual aid operation aiming to end food insecurity in Gainesville. We currently serve about 200 households.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We stand against a system that prioritizes profit over our health and well-being. We believe in the beauty of food and that it should be accessible, healthful, and culturally relevant for all. We’re set on building a food system owned and con-trolled by the community it serves. We&#8217;re breaking down barriers to accessing the food we all deserve.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Happenings</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here are some opportunities to collaborate and get to know us better:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gardening</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You may have received produce grown at our community garden plot. If you’re interested in learning how to grow your own food, we meet every Sunday at McRorie Community Garden to plan, plant and harvest. We’d love to have you out! No experience needed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">615 SE 4th Ave, 9 am.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Retreat</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’ll be gathering on July 16 to plan our future, coordinate new projects and get feedback from our volunteers and recipients. We’ll send out more details as we have them.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mobile pantry</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re setting up distributions across Gainesville where we give out food within neighbor-hoods. We’ll send you info if our next mobile distribution is near you!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Contact Us</h2>
