FOOD SECURITY
Picture
Food security means reliable access to nutritious, culturally relevant food for all people to live an active, healthy life. We work with community partners to research the factors affecting access in our community, identify gaps and challenges, and create solutions. 

pacific pantry

Pacific Pantry is choice-based food pantry model that allows clients to “shop” in the pantry, choosing the foods that go into their food boxes. The only one of its kind in the county, the model creates a dignified experience for clients, allows for cultural and dietary food choices, and minimizes food waste. We choose local and organic products whenever possible. 

EAT LOCAL

DNATL CFC is working to build a vibrant local food economy and regional food system that supports local producers and provides fresh, healthy food to all. 

education

Nutrition, cooking, farming, and gardening education is key to empowering our community with the knowledge and skills to access and choose healthier foods. We offer workshops through out the year.
