As a leader in affordable housing and food justice, WORKS is actively influencing the Los Angeles Agricultural Working Group to promote the creation of healthy food access programs as a part of affordable housing developments.
In just three years, WORKS' Earth Cultures food justice programs have:
- Distributed more than 200 tons of organic produce.
- Served 1,000+ families at "pop-up" organic produce markets.
- Produced hundreds of nutrition and culinary classes led by local chefs re-imagining favorite cultural dishes with nutritious organic ingredients; experienced by children, teens and adults.
- Planted numerous community garden beds and plots that feature a variety of heirloom vegetables and herbs.
- Supported resident-led campaigns that have resulted in tangible wins; including the revamping of an elementary school nutrition program.
Thank you in advance for your support! We look forward to seeing you at The York on Tuesday, September 3rd!
