Trader Joe's Food Rescue!

Help Concrete Jungle rescue up to 2,000 POUNDS of food from Trader Joe's that would have otherwise been lost to the landfill and instead get it to food insecure communities who need it! We'll  load up our cars, caravan back to Ugarden, and sort the donations! A vehicle that you're comfortable loading with boxes of food is required for this shift (laying down old blankets / towels on car seats is great if extra seat protection is a concern!). We will be meeting at Trader Joe's, located at 1850 Epps Bridge Pkwy Ste 331, Athens, GA 30606, at 11am to start loading up donations. Once donations are loaded up, we will caravan back to Ugarden, located at 2500 S Milledge Ave, Athens, GA 30605 to organize and sort through the donations. You'll get an email 1-2 days before the event with more details!
