CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeSew & Grow: Food Equity for Garment Workers
Our initiative connects food & environmental justice to the quality of life of garment workers in LA. With the addition of a commercial fridge, our food distribution efforts would double, adding capacity for us to store fresh produce. With the expansion of our food pantry, we will offer culturally-appropriate workshops on nutrition & mental health, food preparation, and sustainable agriculture. This project will result in an accessible pantry and community garden for garment workers & their families, fostering community engagement & well-being.
