Operation Food Freedom Overvecht
Operation Food Freedom Overvecht was successfully launched on June 7th; weekly fresh vegetables, fruits and eggs from the region at an affordable price.
At the end of 2022, Local2Local met Mark Verhoef of De Sociale Pionier in Utrecht Overvecht and it was clear to him that Operation Food Freedom fits very well with his mission in the neighbourhood.
In Overvecht Mark has been working for years on connecting and helping residents for a healthy living environment: “I have enjoyed living in Overvecht with my family for over 20 years. I have worked in welfare work for a long time, I like to work in the garden, it brings me peace and quiet and it also pays off. My dream is for my own living environment to be a beautiful, friendly, sustainable place to live and work. Access to fresh, healthy food in particular is increasingly difficult for more people these days. With Operation Food Freedom Overvecht, I can offer people in the neighbourhood lots of fresh food for little, directly from farmers. There is currently a short summer break, but people can take out a new subscription of 4 weekly deliveries before Aug 3rd 10:00, the first collection day will be on Wednesday Aug 9th, between 17:00 – 19:00, at Seinedreef 1 in Overvecht shopping centre.”
