Roots CFC uses food as a tool to connect people to one another and build belonging and dignity through meaningful programs, initiatives and advocacy.

Food banks are NOT the solution to food insecurity. Real solutions lie in policies that establish income equity, affordable housing & healthy communities. Ensuring the right to food isn't about giving people more food, it's about supporting their ability to access it themselves.

This thread - yes!! Read the whole thing! We’re broken records here, but if I hear another person want to build a 4 season GH in the North to solve food insecurity or provide jobs, I might start flipping tables.
