It’s #foodjusticefriday and we’re uplifting hyperlocal food justice. Earlier this month, our partner organization @cocinadelcorazonoakland brought the community together by inviting us, and other local mission-aligned organizations, to celebrate and serve our East Oakland neighbors. We shared a bounty of produce, pantry staples, and treats in a pop-up ‘Mercado Gratis’ (free market). Food is a unifying force. This event was a wonderful reminder that justice starts within our own communities.
