Food Access Programs
““The first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world.” ”
With a focus on food sovereignty and food waste, our Food Access program strives to increase equitable access to fresh, nourishing, local food that is grown with healthy agricultural practices. We believe income level, demographic, or geographic location should never be a barrier to being an active participant in one’s local and regional food system. We believe that everyone has a right to live in a healthy environment, and that connecting people to place through their food is a leverage point for care for the environment.

SNAP recipients can shop with EBT year-round at our Marketplace to receive 50% off fresh, local produce and so much more!
The Lancaster Community Garden provides access to green space for families and individuals to grow their own “backyard” garden and get to know other gardeners in the community. We also grow produce to donate to our recipient organizations.
