Food Desert Action

The mission of Food Desert Action is to provide community-engaged solutions that will end food deserts - communities with no or distant access to grocery stores. We believe that a holistic approach, including social enterprise, education, community organizing, and advocacy is needed to restore meaningful food access and eliminate health disparities in under-resourced communities. Food Desert Action operates the Fresh Moves Mobile Produce Market, a one-aisle produce market on wheels, which operates in Chicago communities without easy access to healthy food.
