Mission and Program Overview

Mission

We aim to cultivate a healthier, stronger, more connected east palo alto (epa) community by working together to build a robust community-based food system. Epas deep history of agriculture shows cultivation of food strengthens people and fortifies communities. As part of the industrious epa community, we seek to foster more communal growing, sharing, and eating of fresh, local produce through our three pillars: growing (gardening), sharing (gardening/cooking/nutrition education), and eating (healthy food access)

The mission of collective roots is to educate and engage youth and communities in food system change through sustainable programs that impact health, education, and the environment.
