In rural communities, access can change everything.
That’s why Brightspeed’s partnership with Ripe For Revival, a non-profit based in Rocky Mounty, NC, matters.
Over the past six months, our teams have helped bring the pay-what-you-can mobile market to communities across Central and Eastern North Carolina, reaching nearly 10,000 people through 88 pop-up markets in 15 rural counties.
Together, we’ve helped distribute more than 23,000 pounds of food, including nearly 20,000 pounds of produce, at prices roughly 30% lower than traditional grocery stores.
For us, connectivity means more than internet access. It means helping connect people to opportunity, resources and essential services, including healthy, affordable food.
