Here's how we reinstate an intact regional food system...
Building an Equitable Food System
La Plata County Health Equity & Food Systems Coalition is comprised of individuals, organizations, and agencies all committed to creating equity, sharing power, and building equal access to health...all through food.
With an intent to ensure that healthcare workers have access to healthy, convenient, and affordable food, this Employee Foodshare program supplies hospital employees with weekly shares of fresh veggies sourced from local farmers.
Through this local food purchasing program, we bridge the gap between local farmers and food banks. Farmers are paid at wholesale value, and food banks receive the food free of charge!
Maintaining a healthy food system during this difficult time means supporting both growers and eaters in Southwest Colorado. Learn more about our efforts to convene unlikely partners & develop relationships across sectors!
