Our Plan

• We drop off pallets of bananas and other produce to regions facing roughly 30%+ food insecurity the US and internationally (each containing 2,000 pounds of produce)

• We deploy folded-up wagons - each capable of moving 1200 bananas or 400 pounds of produce - as well as teams of volunteers - to these drop-off locations

• Volunteers unfold them to 6x the size and easily stack 11 boxes of bananas - 1200 of them - onto the wagons 

• They pull the wagons giving bananas to people or produce to people along the way

• We do this with a substantial number of "Banana Wagons" and teams every one to three days

​

How do we scale?

• We use QR Codes on our shirts, flyers, merch, and other promotional materials that people can scan to view the Giving Bananas website to give donations, support our Patreon, and sign up for the volunteer opportunities

• Prospective volunteers will easily be able to see where and when the 8,000-banana pallets will be dropped off and volunteers will be needed

• We buy more Banana Wagons with the contributions

• This will enable Giving Bananas to rapidly expand banana operations in the US and internationally

Here's an example of such a delivery schedule:
