We’ve come to realize is that the “what” and “how” of food access is important. All of our projects are based on the premise that it’s not just any food that we’re talking about. We try to promote an awareness that fresh, whole foods are key to health, wellbeing and disease prevention, and to illustrate this principle through all our programs

How people get their food matters too. Food distribution systems that involve communities and help to create neighborhood leaders have a great potential to enhance individual and community empowerment, by leading people to feel that they have some control over this very basic part of their lives. Again, because of its material, cultural and social importance, food is special in its power to mobilize people to action. All our programs are based on this community building principle.
