Food Justice

FoodJustice is a grassroots initiative which emerged in response to food insecurity and economic pressures that prevent access to healthy, nutritious, and culturally appropriate foods. It is especially critical to people with disabilities who may live in food deserts,without access to transportation or support to prepare meals.
