One local nonprofit is making sure no family goes without food this Easter​ weekend.

The food, which was donated by Hunts Point Produce Market, will then be delivered to nearly 30 different food access hubs in the Bronx and"The need is profound. The Bronx is just continuously struggling with some of the worse health disparities and more, and to be able to bring free produce, which is often the first thing that people cut out at the stores because of rising food prices, is just so essential," said Dan Zauderer, founder and executive director of Grassroots Grocery.

Saturday's event was made possible through the nonprofit Grassroots Grocery, which brings healthy produce to disadvantaged communities through the help of volunteers.
