Work is Under Way at Guardian Angel Child Development Center! |
|
On August 15th, we broke ground on the new farm site and school garden at Guardian Angel Child Development Center (1127 Vandeventer Ave.). In September, we will be adding soil, compost and mulch to create farm rows. We will be building a high tunnel greenhouse to extend our growing season and provide an outdoor classroom space. We will also be planting a sensory garden maze and food forest, filled with fruiting trees and shrubs. If you have a group interested in volunteering, please let us know! If you are would like to support this project, click here and thank you! |

Every newsletter, we share interesting stories, pieces and books about food justice and how communities are rethinking elements of their local food system. |
|
- Improve food access and affordability: End hunger by making it easier for everyone — including urban, suburban, rural, and Tribal communities — to access and afford food. For example, expand eligibility for and increase participation in food assistance programs and improve transportation to places where food is available.
- Integrate nutrition and health: Prioritize the role of nutrition and food security in overall health, including disease prevention and management, and ensure that our health care system addresses the nutrition needs of all people.
- Empower all consumers to make and have access to healthy choices: Foster environments that enable all people to easily make informed healthy choices, increase access to healthy food, encourage healthy workplace and school policies, and invest in public messaging and education campaigns that are culturally appropriate and resonate with specific communities.
- Support physical activity for all: Make it easier for people to be more physically active (in part by ensuring that everyone has access to safe places to be active), increase awareness of the benefits of physical activity, and conduct research on and measure physical activity.
- Enhance nutrition and food security research: Improve nutrition metrics, data collection, and research to inform nutrition and food security policy, particularly on issues of equity, access, and disparities.
