Healthy Food Access

GOAL: Embrace the diversity of our community and take the initiative to make high-quality, nutritious, culturally appropriate, and affordable food more accessible to all.

Opportunity: Healthy food is a right, not a privilege, but economic conditions, cultural differences, and geographical distance all pose potential barriers. We are committed to mitigating obstacles and addressing misperceptions in order to ensure that high-quality food is accessible to all.

Expand programs to educate people of all ages and all walks of life about the value of healthy food.
Develop innovative strategies and partnerships to overcome the barriers that limit people’s access to healthy food.
