Groceryships and Netiya

Combining nutrition education and communal gardening to provide good food, a supportive community and water-wise, food productive landscapes at churches in underserved LA communities.

Groceryships pilot programs achieved profound physical and emotional health results for the low-income families struggling with diabetes and obesity. Now, with a recently opened community center, Groceryships wants to dramatically expand the number of programs we can offer to families. The $100,000 grant would provide six months of weekly nutrition education classes and free access to healthy produce for 300 families living in South LA.

Open Grove harnesses the institutional power of congregations by repurposing fallow land into orchards.

A Groceryships group in every community, so everyone who wants to get healthy amidst a toxic food environment has a place to turn for help.
