Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Communities in poverty often lack access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Resources such as community gardens and health education have the ability to inspire and transform the lives of those involved. The Jefferson Community Center provide these resources to the public, bringing back environmental sustainability and justice. The lack of food security in the community shows the need of community building and access to fresh produce. My poster reflects my experiences at the Jefferson Community Center and how they are contributing to the public in important and positive ways.
