How do your programs or services help the community?

Local Matters helps the community stay healthy. It focuses on three things: education, access, and engagement. Local Matters works to educate community members on local foods, nutrition, and how to grow and cook their own food. Local Matters also works to increase the access of fresh food by connecting individuals and groups with resources. Last – but not least – Local Matters works to engage the community through partnerships and collaborative efforts in order to create sustainable, long-term change.
