Description Program Srvc AccomEducated the public regarding food justice via public speaking, events, and the organization's website. Published original statistical data, collected by the organization, on the lack of access to healthy foods in impacted areas; data can then be used by local policymakers and community members to enact policy changes and to support community organizations addressing these concerns. All of our published materials are also offered in Spanish as well as English. Organized an annual school supply drive for the children of farm workers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Items distributed include, but are not limited to, backpacks, notebooks, pencils, crayons, and pens. Worked on corporate transparency, such as in the chocolate industry. Provided a regularly updated list (available online and through a free mobile app) that indexes chocolate companies that the organization does and does not recommend based on self-reported country of origin supplies of chocolate/cacao. The list is available in English, Spanish, and German.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
