Remember back in July when Shelly Keeney, The Wild Ramp Manager, said there was definitely more to expect from The Wild Ramp as they hit their 10-year Anniversary? Well, Keeney has definitely proved that the local market is taking a new direction to get local food into the hands of the community. In a recent Facebook Post, the Wild Ramp announced that they are not stopping at just the creation of The Online Food Hub.
"Last week we officially launched our new Online Food Ordering system," stated The Wild Ramp in their post, "but what we haven't announced is that The Wild Ramp was 1 of 134 grantee recipients of the Reinvestment Fund Healthy Food Financing Initiative Grant Program. We were awarded $154,810 to expand the Online Food Hub through a delivery option that includes the purchase of a Delivery Van and other necessary supplies. We will also be working with neighborhood organizations to identify food access needs and delivery locations."
