Food Access

It’s no secret that having access to healthy, affordable food can make all the difference for your family’s health. However, current systems make finding healthy food and affording the next grocery bill a challenge. Together, we are working to change those systems, ensuring you can access food now.

Our initiatives include overseeing a local farmers market, collaborating on produce box pick-up programs, and engaging in partnerships to develop an Adams County food policy council.

Housing Stability

Housing is more than just a roof over your head. It’s a human right, a safe, stable, and consistent place supporting you and your family. At the center of this work is the vision of creating a community free of cost-burdened
households.

Our efforts include expanding access to long-term, affordable housing solutions and connecting people with resources to support a healthier home.
