Healthy Food For All
WHAT WE DO
Healthy Food For All (HFFA)
Healthy Food for All collects local produce from area farms and surplus prepared food from local catering and retail operations. We distribute this high quality but highly perishable food to pantries, meal sites and directly into low income neighborhoods.
Healthy Food For All is a a program of the Northside Planning Council, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
Our work is rooted in outreach, education and building coalitions with farmers, caterers, food banks, pantries and grassroots leaders.
We collect surplus food from local caterers and special events. We also help lead a long established local network of grocery store gleaners.
Central to our work, we are expanding access to fresh local produce through gleaning at farmers’ markets, our Buy One For A Neighbor project and building Purpose Grown with area farmers.
We work with student groups at the UW to build active collaborations between community groups and students interested in food access work.
We are collaborating with multiple community partners to create Community Food Hubs at Neighborhood House, Burr Oaks, First Unitarian and other sites.
