The Fort Greene-Clinton Hill Community Food Council (FG/CH CFC) provides a framework for strengthening neighborhood efforts around food access, and encourages a more collective action and conversation. Currently 12 residents, ranging from 18-65+ and all socio-economic backgrounds, sit on the council and meet monthly to discuss the various food & health education  projects they are working on and identify points of collaboration with others in the community doing similar work.

The Council has reached approximately 850 residents through the following efforts:  a) grocery store tours that guide individuals “how to shop healthy on a budget”, b) community food & clothing drives, c) sessions where  local gardeners learn how to include their food harvests count in city-wide mapping projects, and various other projects.

All are welcome and encouraged to join!

Next meeting:
Wednesday 1/29/2014
6:30PM 

Please contact Kassy Nystrom, Director of Food & Health Programs, to RSVP and/or for more information.

The mission of the FG/CH CFC is to link and strengthen community efforts to support healthy eating.  Engaging community members is a key component of our work through collective action and conversation.  In acknowledging the complexity and potential of urban life, we honor the rich diversity of Fort Greene/Clinton Hill.  We strive to support access to affordable, nutritious and delicious food options for every community member year-round.
