| In all of our work, we make sure to engage the community. We work with, not for, communities, with the mindset that sustainability is ensured when the community has a sense of ownership over our work. We also form strategic partnerships with groups and individuals from the public, business and nonprofit sectors.
It takes a village, and by working together, we are able to conserve resources while bringing in the services and expertise of a variety of like-minded stakeholders. Food Strong is dedicated to using fresh foods as a tool to educate, empower, and cultivate health throughout Northeast Ohio. We offer a variety of programs including the School Gardens, Care-A-Van, community culinary education, Mobile Farm Stand, and our Vacant Lot Restoration Initiative which is now focused on our new Superior Farm Fixup, all designed to engage local neighborhoods through collaborative food and health-conscious education initiatives. |
