Program Highlights
- FPP has fully digitized its intake process utilizing Oasis Insight to track intake data and generate service reports, streamlining the process throughout all Mobile Markets.
- FPP phased out the New Bedford Mobile Market due to traffic concerns in and around the YMCA in favor of direct distribution to New Bedford Housing Authority Units.
- Dartmouth YMCA Share the Harvest Farm increased production and in turn was able to donate over 4,000 lbs. of fresh produce to FPP throughout the 2025 season.
- Fall River Public Schools and FPP have renewed their partnership to provide 150 units of dry goods and fresh produce to children and families across the Fall River school district.
- Full Plate Project has expanded its community partner network to provide thousands of lbs. of food to more than 10 community partner pantries and food programs across the Southcoast.
