Food Distribution serves the purpose of providing community members the opportunity to learn about eating according to the season by providing bi-weekly distribution of Organic Produce. Our desire is to reduce the risk of illness and disease by allowing food to be our medicine, community to be our safe haven, and food justice is our pursuit.
