| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Access to Healthy Food - The Organization works with community members to survey the access to healthy foods and conducts focus groups with local organizations in Black and Brown communities and low-income communities. The Organization then uses these reports to inform public officials of their findings and to encourage policy changes. The Organizations work on the lack of access to healthy foods over the years has allowed them to collaborate with various community organizations as well as governmental bodies. These reports on access to healthy foods have been cited by the United Nations Human Rights Committee and are a resource for many schools and universities across the globe. In 2017, the city of San Jos, CA, and the city of Vallejo, CA, recognized and honored the Organization for their vegan food justice work, including their access work within their cities. In the City of Pittsburg, CA, the Organization recently carried out an assessment on the lack of access to healthy foods and plans to release the report in 2022. The Organization also uses their corporate campaign Shame on Safeway to pressure Safeway/Albertsons to change their unjust policy that can leave neighborhoods without a grocery store for more than a decade. |
