We know that those who are closest to the problem are best equipped to develop solutions, so we create space where their voices can be heard. We connect, convene, support and facilitate in response to what our community sees as priorities in making healthy living accessible and sustainable.
We advocate for structural changes that ensure long-term equitable access to healthy foods and physical activity opportunities. Our work aims to build trusting and inclusive spaces where communities not only have access to health-promoting resources, but feel comfortable utilizing them. We envision a Greenville County where every zip code has comprehensive community infrastructure and support systems that allow individuals to move towards permanent food security, health and wellbeing.
We facilitate the collaboration of multiple sectors, partners and organizations to share expertise, perspectives and resources that promote healthy eating and active living. Convening cross-sector coalitions and workgroups, we build long-lasting relationships that work together to address health disparities and bridge access to community resources.
