COMBATING FOOD DESERTS

Increasing access to healthier food options in underserved communities.

Our vision is to increase availability and sales of healthy, affordable foods in existing small-scale corner stores in underserved communities. We work directly with corner store owners to provide support and resources in order for the owners to introduce healthier options in their stores. Replicating Philadelphia’s successful model, we currently partner with 11 stores in participating neighborhoods including Avondale, West End, Walnut Hills, Clifton, Northside, Roselawn, Evanston, and South Cumminsville.

Initiative Goals

  1. Increase access to healthy foods
