There’s this really cool thing in Tucson called the 3000 Club Charity/Market on the Move. In the summer they have it every couple of Saturdays and the occasional Wednesdays at their headquarters, at other times of the year it moves around to various locations. You go there, pay $10 and you get about 60 pounds of vegetables and fruit. What they have changes. If you like their Facebook page, they let you know when they have them. We went this morning and we got a case of cucumbers, a case of yellow squash, a case of water and a pound of popping corn, all organic, oh, and 20 bags of potato chips. It was a random and limited selection, but you can do all kinds of things with cucumbers and squash…..not to mention you can share the bounty!

There is another entity that does a similar thing, called Borderlands Food Bank. It moves around all the time. I’ve never tried this one though. The last time we went to the Market on the Move, we got copious amounts of butternut squash, honeydews, grape tomatoes, mangos, watermelons, and again the potato chips. It’s always something you can use and share.
