Focus group participants voiced a significant need for food literacy efforts in the neighborhood

We held focus group with neighborhood organization leaders, local police forces, university staff, and other stakeholders to understand their goals and challenges. We asked them what they think is needed to live out their mission. Across the board, people told us that food literacy and education efforts would help.
