What is food access?
Food access through the York Road Iniative has several different iniatives to create a community with equitable access to healthy, fresh food. Here are a few of them:
- Govans Farmers Market: Support management of the Govans Farmers Market, a mission based farmers market providing access to fresh produce, a space for community building, and a support for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
- FreshCrate Healthy Corner Store Initiative: Support our ongoing partnerships with local corner stores in order to provide year round access to fresh produce for the York Road community.
- Govans Community Fridge: Provide oversight of the York Road Initiative’s newest food access tool to provide year round access to produce and ready to eat items at no cost to residents.
