A $10 Thank You from Mildred's for Keeping KC's Shelves Full!
There's a lot right now that feels uncertain—support programs, prices, even what tomorrow looks like. But community isn't uncertain. It shows up.
When things get unpredictable, it is the steady actions - the small, consistent ones - that keep everything moving forward.
At Kanbe's, that means staying steady even when programs stall—because families still need fresh food close to home. And the reason we can keep going is because of people who give steadily, like our Grassroots Growers.
Monthly giving helps us work smarter, respond faster, and focus our energy where it counts. It's the simplest, most sustainable way to make sure fresh produce keeps flowing into neighborhoods year-round.
And because every dollar stretches further, your monthly impact really adds up:
$10 keeps onions stocked in a store for a month
$15 covers lemons and limes
$25 keeps bananas on shelves all month
$75 stocks carrots in every store
This November, our friends at Mildred's are celebrating Grassroots Growers with a special thank-you: a $10 gift card for anyone who signs up as a new monthly donor this month.
It's their way of recognizing the community care that fuels this work—and your way to enjoy a little local flavor while doing something that lasts.
Grassroots Growers keep our community steady. Their ongoing support means the shelves stay stocked, the trucks keep rolling, and neighbors can count on fresh produce close to home—all year long.
Because food isn't just about what's on the shelf—it's about knowing your community still shows up for you.
You've already shown up when it mattered most. Becoming a Grassroots Grower is how you keep that goodness going-so the same care that got us through this moment keeps feeding the community long after it's over.
Small amounts. Big consistency. That's how we show up for each other.
With gratitude—and a generous side of gravy,
The Kanbe's Crew
