The Green Urban Lunch Box is a community food agency, At its heart is a ten and a half-meter (35-foot) school bus that has been converted into a mobile greenhouse and farm stand stand. This bus visits low income area to make fresh food affordable and accessible. Their Back-Farms Program lets seniors get access to fresh food by transforming their yards from weedy neglect to beautiful vegetable gardens, providing a place to spend time while improving their property values. The seniors also have a chance to give back to the community by sharing their knowledge as well as donating their land to grow food. They host free farmers market ever week at local senior centers with the excess produce. In addition they run an urban farmer training program to educate beginning farmers. There largest program is FruitShare an urban gleaning program as part of this program they host the annual International Gleaners Symposium.
