Here are some of the incredible organizations we partner with and the vital roles they play:
food Access partners
No boundaries Coalition
Through training, education, and base building No Boundaries Coalition of Central West Baltimore is dedicated to deconscructing physical and imagined barriers in Central West Baltimore, thereby empowering residents to lead and live sustained community transformation.
breadcoin
Breadcoins are physical coins to ensure everyone is included. Each Breadcoin is valued at $2.50 and redeemed at participating merchants. It provides the recipient with the dignity of choice.
The coins are put into circulation when an individual or organization purchases them (1) to use themselves to destigmatize hunger, (2) to create a mobile food event that will include everyone at the table, or (3) to give a to a family or individual so they can choose when and where to get a meal.
civic works csa
Community Supported Agriculture (or CSA) is a regular delivery of produce grown by your local farmer. Farmers count on CSAs to provide dependable funding during the growing season (they’re buying compost, seeds, soil amendments, greenhouse equipment, landscape fabric, etc.). CSAs are also a way to keep customers engaged throughout the growing season. As for customers, CSAs are a way to: 1. Meet the people that grow their food, 2. Learn about local growing practices, 3. Support local business and local food, 4. Support sustainable food, 5. Learn about foods they haven’t tried before, 6. Get the freshest foods they could find in their neighborhood.
