Access to fresh food is everyone’s right.

In 2018, RAO Community Health was awarded the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) grant funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As part of the nutrition strategy, RAO partnered with Loaves & Fishes, a local food pantry, to develop a campaign to increase awareness of the right to fresh and healthy foods for all. In total, 8 billboards were placed in priority areas, targeting Black/African Americans throughout Mecklenburg County in Charlotte, North Carolina.
