Residents of The Metro at Compton Senior Apartments in Compton, CA, and The Metro at Chintown Lofts in Los Angeles, CA, are grateful for the Food Forward Program which provide fresh produce on a monthly basis. Food Forward staff and volunteers rescue 353,000 pounds of surplus produce each week from fruit trees, farmers markets and the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market. 100% of these fresh fruits and vegetables are donated to over 575 hunger relief agencies across 8 counties in Southern California and distributed to folks like our low-income residents.
