Latinx Community Food Initiative

Project Description

The Latinx Community Food Initiative aims to broaden student access to fresh, culturally relevant foods while empowering them to learn where to obtain and even grow their own ingredients, fostering a deeper connection to ancestral food practices and environmental sustainability. A bi-monthly food security campaign will be hosted, designed to connect students with essential resources that promote food autonomy and access to fresh, culturally significant ingredients. These events will focus on education, outreach, and building direct connections to food sources both on and off campus, ensuring students have the knowledge and support needed to navigate sustainable and community-driven food systems. Finally, the project includes an art exhibit and community cookbook presentation to document and share the cultural significance of the workshops.
