California’s Department of Food and Agriculture Healthy Refrigeration Program is allowing fresh fruits and vegetables to get into the hands of all Californians who want them. The program provides energy-efficient refrigeration units in corner stores and small businesses in low-income or low-access areas throughout the state. This will allow for the opportunity to stock California-grown fresh produce, nuts and minimally processed foods. Visit cafarmtofork.cdfa.ca.gov for more on the grant program.
