we believe that universal access to good food is integral to the vitality of all communities. Good food doesn’t just nourish bodies and minds, it can spur new investment into our neighborhoods and prove once and for all that food deserts don’t have to exist if we let imagination and innovation prevail. If there was ever a time to prioritize access – and action – it is now. 

Little Red Box is a small (capital "V" Very small) grocery located in Houston’s Second Ward, an area that lacks ready access to healthy and affordable food. In some ways, innovative: a tech-enabled, mission-forward healthy food store, built to scale and intentionally focused on low-income, low-access neighborhoods. Yet in so many more it is a return to basics: fresh food + recipe kits + pantry essentials, with a commitment to community engagement and empowerment. A convenient third place - welcoming, and responsive, and nice, to one and all.
