JOY IS OUR HEALTH IMPERATIVE

Eating Better Together

The Eating Better Together program serves children and families, provides access to healthy meal options, and increases nutrition literacy and knowledge. We seek to reduce the stigma associated with learning about nutritional health, any experience of food insecurity, and engaging in healthy behaviors.

We address health and hunger issues in low-income and predominantly minority communities that are most commonly affected by a lack of healthy food options, unaffordability of healthy foods, and comprehensive wellness services.   

Ujamaa Cafe

Ujamaa Cafe are cashless, grab-and-go, de-surveilled food access points that provide an innovative model for offering healthy food options to diverse patrons, sharing nutritional information, and supporting the local small business economy through strategic partnerships with food businesses and entrepreneurs.
