Reclaiming for a greener future
The mission of the 3000 Club is simple. Nothing useful should end up in a landfill. We redirect, repurpose, refurbish, reuse or recycle and use these resources to the betterment of our communities and to serve our under-privileged. In October 2010, the Market On the Move (MOM) was born. The 3000 Club partnered with churches and non-profit organizations to host weekly events where semi-truck loads of produce were brought into the Valley. A supporter can donate $10 and receive up to 60 pounds of fresh produce and food to share with friends, families, neighbors, and people in need of nutritional produce. Market On the Move (MOM) rescues produce and dry/canned/bottled goods directly from growers and distributors. It could be the time in the growing season for abundance, the overstock, over or under sized, too ripe for shipping, etc. We transport, sort and fill our coolers, then offer to share with our partners, other organizations and the public. Our MOMs are located throughout the Phoenix metroplex and Northern Arizona. Currently, 37 million Americans experience food insecurity, and 6 million children go to bed hungry at least once a week. One third of all food is wasted and ends up in our landfills. It seems unreal that in one of the wealthiest nations of the world, little children are still going hungry. Join us today!
