Eating for the FutureCommunity Food Assessment In association with the Community Food Security Coalition, CLF worked with a neighborhood coalition in Southwest Baltimore, Operation ReachOut Southwest (OROSW), to conduct a community food assessment. The two-part assessment: - Mapped the type and cost of food offered in food stores
- Surveyed residents to investigate their experiences accessing food in their neighborhood
The results of the study are informing an action plan for improving access to healthier food alternatives. CLF also sponsors a weekly CSA drop site at Operation Reachout Southwest to increase the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables. CLF has been working with OROSW for the past 1 years, conducting the community food assessment and looking for opportunities to improve the overall food environment. In addition to creating awareness of the garden, the project seeks to increase the community's knowledge of local farms and where food comes from.
