Bringing Fresh Food to Low-Income Neighborhoods
Harvest Home Farmer's Markets are a bright spot in New York's urban landscape. Founded in 1993, Harvest Home aims to increase access to farm fresh produce in low-income neighborhoods. Its network of markets offers affordably priced, locally grown produce, educational programs about health and nutrition, and job opportunities for neighborhood residents. MoFo attorneys have advised Harvest Home on a variety of corporate and employment questions, so it can focus on bringing great food to people who need and want it.
Helping Organizations Do Good
The creativity and vitality of nonprofit organizations is matched by the variety of their legal needs, and MoFo is deeply involved in meeting them. One such organization is iMentor. Where many despair at the sight of young people's fingers constantly at work on a digital device, the founders of iMentor saw the potential for vastly expanding the concept of mentoring to capitalize on digital technologies. MoFo attorneys have helped iMentor license its innovative platform to more than 50 other organizations and exponentially increased its reach.
