Guilford Technical Community College students and community members will soon have the opportunity to receive free fresh produce and meat once a month, through a partnership with its Titan Link services and Out of the Garden Project.

The "Out of the Garden Project" will bring a Fresh Mobile Market food truck to its High Point campus the first Wednesday of every month for one year. Families can expect to leave a Fresh Mobile Market with at least 65 pounds of food.

In addition to fresh produce and meat, there will be shelf-stable food, bread, and grab-and-go snacks. The partnership is funded through a $9,000 investment from the Titan Link and the GTCC Foundation. Titan Link provides resources and information that assists GTCC students, staff and faculty with non-academic challenges such as housing, transportation, food insecurity, childcare, and emergency loan/grant/scholarship application access for GTCC.Fresh Mobile Markets, an Out of the Garden program, serves more than 3,000 families every month throughout 20 locations in the Piedmont Triad.

Distribution for this new site begins Wednesday, September 6. It will run from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the parking lot adjacent to the Johnson Warehouse, located at 719 S. Hamilton St., High Point.
