HEALTH

“Healing begins at the table. For communities once denied access to health and wholeness, every fresh meal is an act of resistance, restoration, and rebirth.”

Eat to Live Pop-Up Clinic

The Eat to Live Pop-Ups are more than just fresh food, it is about nourishing our community.

Redlining stripped Black communities of access to fresh, healthy food by intentionally removing Supermarkets and blocking investment in food infrastructure creating food deserts and contributing to chronic disease.

Blacklining responds by:

  • Teaching families how to eat seasonally and nutritiously within a tight budget.

  • Providing healthy food kits that restore access to fresh ingredients.

  • Educating the community on cooking methods, disease prevention, and long term wellness.
