Project snapshot
Precycle, NYC’s first zero-waste grocery store, has been providing sustainable, package-free food and home goods to the community since December 2018. With the grant, they will be able to secure a new location in Essex Market and create five additional jobs while utilizing the community space to host educational events on sustainable living, food waste prevention, and supporting local growers and makers. Precycle actively supports the community by donating fresh produce to local community fridges and sourcing nearly 80% of their products from local vendors, further promoting sustainability and supporting the local economy.
