Good Food Club
What do we do?
The goal of the good food club is to help make healthy, nutritious, affordable, food available in West Broadway.
We want to build a sense of healthy community- with food, by farming together, cooking together, eating together, talking, telling stories, sharing ideas. We want to bring about food security.
Food security exists when all people, at all times, have access to as much safe and nutritious food as they need in order to meet their dietary needs for an active and healthy life. The Good Food Club does this by working with members to offer opportunities to work in exchange for “sweat equity points” that can be redeemed for healthy food. These are some of the opportunities:
- community cafes
- fresh food boxes in the winter months
- trips to a local farm June – August
- vegetable community market

Please donate to the Good Food Club:
55% of families and 70% of individuals live below the poverty line in West Broadway and struggle to afford healthy food.
* With your investment we can help others help themselves!
We are an award winning program that helps low income inner city residents help themselves by farming together, cooking together and sharing food together
