THE ISSUE

Many low-income neighborhoods in the United States lack access to fresh and affordable fruits and vegetables. Residents rely on neighborhood corner stores and fast food chains as their main sources of food. As a result, their health deteriorates and bad eating habits are passed on for generations.

THE SOLUTION
The Strong Roots Food Program brings locally organic grown foods to underserved communities. Our approach is to meet people where they are to encourage them eat healthy and make decisions that will improve their health. We provide on site education about the nutritional value of the healthy foods!

The best preventive health care is found in the healing properties naturally stored in fruits and vegetables!

Everyone has a gift or skill that will assist in the preservation of Mother Earth. Our workshops are customized to take the audience’s unique situation into account, to give action oriented advice on how to “go green” by living naturally.
