People's Grocery runs 3 interrelated programs that work together to create a local food system in West Oakland:
People's Grocery develops food enterprises that increase access to fresh, local and healthy foods in West Oakland while contributing to economic development, job creation and training opportunities.
People's Grocery works to increase West Oakland's ability to grow fresh food through urban agriculture - the practice of growing food in or near urban areas.
The Community Outreach and Education team develops programs that educate residents about healthy eating, nutrition and food justice, and engages youth to break down environmental, social, and economic ties to our food system.
