In our gardens, we grow organic food intensively and share resources with others interested in growing their own food.
In our kitchens, we use recovered, donated and garden-grown food to prepare and cook made-from-scratch meals.
In our community, we share nourishing meals in partnership with local poverty-disrupting nonprofits and community groups.
We already know the vital role that food plays in health. But how does that affect communities where the most easily accessible foods are processed and plastic-wrapped items in corner stores? For patients at Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center in North Nashville, which has historically been a food desert, uncontrolled hypertension is a direct consequence of this issue.
