Just Food

New York, New York

Cause Description:
Founded in 1995, Just Food is the only non-profit (501(c)(3)) organization working in urban and rural contexts to address the food, nutrition and economic security needs of underprivileged communities, community gardeners, market vendors and family farmers in the greater New York City region. In both settings, we work in alliance with a host of community-based organizations and external support agencies to foster new food-growing and marketing opportunities, strengthen vulnerable communities and their institutions, and create new economic and income-earning opportunities. By using food as the integrating element linking diverse and sometimes disparate interests and individuals, Just Food has worked to cultivate stronger rural-urban interactions, create new enterprises that increase local economic power and build social capital, and contribute to community revitalization and self-determination across New York City and the surrounding states.
