In response to the increased need for food, The Food Group has increased food distribution by 80% – doubling the amount of food going into the community – with a focus on nutritious, culturally connected, and local. 

Every dollar raised will support The Food Group's programs that aim to break down barriers to growing good food locally and getting good food to those who need it most. These program include: 

• Food shelf and meal program support
• Healthy and affordable grocery sales programs 
• Farmer education program for farmers historically underrepresented in farm ownership learning to operate organic farm businesses

We believe nutritious food strengthens our community by creating better health outcomes and providing the foundation needed to thrive.

Equity is fundamental to The Food Group’s mission to fight hunger and nourish our community. Since 2005, The Food Group has offered food shelf and hunger relief partners culturally specific foods and capacity building resources on cultural competency.
