NEW ROOTS


Hey All! Just wanted to introduce you to a great cause, if you aren't already familiar-
New Roots is a non-profit organization that works to develop a just and sustainable food system in the Ohio River Valley Region.

New Roots seeks to meet the needs of urban communities by improving access to fresh food for urban residents and marketing opportunities in the city for local and regional farmers.
The program has impacted the local food system through the development of the Fresh Stop Project, a community-driven fresh food distribution program. New Roots also seeks to provide nutrition education, conduct health research, and spearhead policy campaigns that will improve the disparities currently present in our food system.

Talk about a breath of fresh air! Everyone should support these wonderful people and all they do-find out how you can get involved!
