At Produce Peddlers, we rescue food from local businesses and deliver it to food pantries in Chicago. Providing a sustainable, community-focused transportation solution.
Rescue
Produce Peddlers leverages cycling to foster community relationships, reduce food waste, and promote sustainable transportation.
Become a part of our cycling community. Whether you're a seasoned century cycler or a casual commuter, you can put your bike to use in the fight against food waste!
Feeding a city takes a village. That's why we've partnered with organizations like the University Community Service Center at the University of Chicago, Hyde Park Union Church, and the cycling community.
We curate more than just fun rides. Produce Peddlers is a community that supports and creates lasting partnerships
Produce Peddlers is more than a cycling network. We allow people to play a part in the food chain.
We use a simple, 3-step process to integrate cyclists into the food chain.
Students, cyclists, community members, and anyone with a bike is welcome to participate! We provide trailers and produce!
Meet at the designated spot, and we'll give you trailers and safety tips. Then a ride leader will guide you to the food pantry.
Help unload the rescued produce, and we encourage riders to stay and volunteer after! Get to know the community members who support food access in our community!
