Seven years and counting!

I'm so lucky to have spent this time with the greatest team I could have ever dreamed of. Kanbe's wouldn't be here without the immense talent, generosity, and passion of the countless Kansas Citians. Thank you to everyone who has helped along the way!

7️⃣ YEARS ‼️

Today marks seven years since Kanbe's made its first produce delivery at 31st and Prospect.

Since then, our incredible team has moved millions of pounds of produce and expanded food access for a quarter of a million Kansas Citians—a feat we take immense pride in.

"Hunger and food insecurity are issues in Kansas that can no longer be ignored."

With the latest funding from @kansashealthorg, we're expanding our footprint—and our mission—to improve food access for our neighbors in Wyandotte County. Learn more here. https://t.co/FA27uvHXKa

"We have too many people who don’t have access to healthy or real food, and we have too much food that’s going to waste... The root cause is a distribution problem."

[Max Kaniger @Kaniger]

Too many people who don’t have access to healthy real food, and too much food is going to waste.

The @KanbesMarkets team understands that the root cause is a distribution problem, and we're proud to be fixing it. https://t.co/Ydm1ezMSiy

“One of the things I believe we excel at more than anywhere else is food and connection."

Kanbe's Founder Max @Kaniger recently chatted with @AFARmedia about his favorite places to eat and drink in Kansas City. Check out his list! @VisitKC https://t.co/jyw8ESQoBP

[Max Kaniger @Kaniger]

The only thing better than KC's food is its people.

Thanks to @AFARmedia for letting me share my love and appreciation for the incredible community and world-class talent that drives KC's food scene—check out my list here! https://t.co/bunkzrQeum

I'm honored to receive the inaugural Emerging Hawklet Award. @RockhurstHS gave me an enduring appreciation for community, which in turn shaped @KanbesMarkets' mission.

I'm grateful for the recognition, and for the strong foundation Rockhurst provided me. https://t.co/aWCbcHGhTv

Kanbe's Markets is expanding its ability to reduce local food waste and increase access to fresh produce through its new Mobile Market. https://t.co/bNsngbvyFd

[Max Kaniger @Kaniger]

As we’ve learned over the years, getting to a grocery store—or even one of @KanbesMarkets’ Healthy Corner Stores—can be a challenge for many.

I’m grateful to the @TitosVodka team for helping us improve food access through our Mobile Market program.

[Kanbe's Markets @KanbesMarkets]

Thanks to support from @TitosVodka, we’re thrilled to expand Kanbe’s Mobile Market program, which increases access to healthy, affordable food for those who cannot make it to our Healthy Corner Stores.

It’s on! The @KanbesMarkets team is going to be seeing red on Monday morning—and we’re not talking about your football team or the berries and tomatoes in your warehouse. #FlyEaglesFly #SBLVII

[Kanbe's Markets @KanbesMarkets]

Hey @thefoodtrust, we love what you’re doing for Philly, but we don't love your football team…

How about a friendly wager: the losing charity donates $1 for every point scored on Sunday to the winning org, and asks their followers to do the same? #ChiefsKingdom #SBLVII

I've been called a "pig" while eating before, but after meeting Hansel, I'm choosing to take that as a compliment.

It was fun having Hansel visit @KanbesMarkets this week—it's encouraging to see how we're able to redirect food from landfills while helping local nonprofits.

[Kanbe's Markets @KanbesMarkets]

We hosted a very special guest at the Kanbe’s warehouse earlier this week.

Meet Hansel, one of the many friends at the Farm To Able Animal Sanctuary & Rescue who are fed by produce lovingly redirected from the Kanbe's warehouse to his trough by our team.
