By 2050, we want every neighborhood in LA to be home to an affordable, good food market.

The Healthy Neighborhood Market Network CONNECTS small neighborhood markets in low-income communities to new resources and partners in food industry, community and local government so that they may thrive as good food businesses and civic leaders. We invest in the leadership of neighborhood market owners so they can offer Good Food to all Angelenos. We've already trained 200 stores - help us grow the Network!

Vote for our project in #LA2050 CONNECT and help us win $100,000!
