Restoring food security to Greater Boston with accessible, culturally appropriate, affordable groceries.

In 2017, an estimated 2.8 million people in Massachusetts live in a food desert, or an area with limited access to affordable and nutritious food.

 

The multi-year pandemic (2020-present) has likely increased this number.

That’s where Project Restore Us comes in. We’re solely dedicated to bringing culturally appropriate and nutritious groceries to families in food deserts. Whether we’re donating food through community partners or selling grocery staples like rice and beans at local farmers’ markets, we believe that every family deserves food access.

Food is the foundation of community

It all started with a bag of flour.

When the pandemic hit, Dr. Marena Lin needed a bag of flour, but her local grocery stores were all out. So she contacted her friend Chef Tracy Chang, who ordered a 50 lb bag for delivery the next day. Together, with help from Irene Li (Mei Mei) they realized that this efficient and safe supply chain could be leveraged to help communities in need.
