Food On The Move, the Tulsa, Oklahoma-based non-profit founded by musician/entrepreneur Taylor Hanson of from iconic trio Hanson, has announced the launch of his brand new venture, The Food Home, a new project which combats food insecurity and strengthens local food systems in Oklahoma. Working in conjunction with Giving Tuesday, an organization that officially kicks off the public phase of the capital campaign to fund The Food Home, a four-phase local food campus – including an Urban Farm, Food Hub, Community Hub, and Market – to be located in North Tulsa.
Food On The Move is further marking today’s launch of The Food Home project with the “Bring Food Home” campaign, an exclusive contest giving fans and supporters around the world an opportunity to tour the project in person with Hanson.
“The Food Home is a major step to reinvest in once neglected neighborhoods while making an impact on us all. — Taylor Hanson on his new project.
“Our concept with Food On The Move was if we could forge relationships, understand the community through pop-up events, pay-as-you-can mobile events, bringing fresh produce to where the greatest need was,” says Taylor continues, “we’d have the best chance at understanding the long-term solutions needed and the long-term answer to how to transform a food desert into an oasis.”
