Our Mission

Kanbe’s Markets provides access to fresh, healthy foods in the areas of Kansas City designated by the USDA as a “food desert”, where residents lack consistent access to healthy and affordable food.

Our goal is to eliminate food insecurity by providing a distribution model that includes more people, enhances small businesses, and improves communities, one neighborhood at a time.


Improving Access To Healthy and Affordable Food

Four Pathways To A Solution

How to solve our broken food distribution model

Access

Access

Our primary focus is providing consistent access to fresh, affordable food. This is paramount to solving the issues that generations of systemic disenfranchisement has developed.

Local Growers

Local Growers

Because we are able to distribute such large amounts of produce, we can offer stability to the small neighborhood grower.

Food Waste

Food Waste

A fortunate by-product of this model is capturing some of the millions of tons of food waste and building it into our distribution model.

Education

Education

Using our store partners to distribute educational materials and as a hosting site for cooking demonstrations is a fun way to bring people together around healthy eating.
