As 2024 comes to a close, Kanbe's Markets is proud to share our impact: we've served 145,000 residents through our Healthy Corner Store program and fed 60,000 people through our Hunger Relief donation partners. We now operate 75 healthy corner stores and have redirected over 1 million pounds of produce—more than half of which has gone directly to feeding people in need. We've also expanded our Food as Medicine partnerships with institutions like Saint Luke's, bringing fresh food to healthcare initiatives and helping families access the nourishment they need to heal and grow.

 

 

These milestones reflect our community's collective commitment to supporting one another and creating a city where no one goes hungry. Every meal we provide represents equity and resilience—whether it's helping a child focus in school, easing a parent's worries, or showing care for a senior citizen. Your support, whether through donations, volunteer work, or spreading awareness, has made a profound impact and continues to inspire us daily. 

As a parting gift before the new year, we want to share this video with you. It shines a light on the incredible Ms. Sayles, whose story illuminates Kanbe's mission to create lasting change in our food system.
