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.
