Whitehaven Eats

About the Whitehaven Eats Initiative 

WHY?

Increase easy access to fruits and vegetables for Whitehaven and surrounding community residents.

OUR PLAN

Whitehaven Eats will synergize the organizations already working to promote healthier food choices across Whitehaven and create an infrastructure geared toward food access. To accomplish this, Whitehaven’s entire food continuum needs to be considered, from community gardens, food pantries, and grocery stores, to food cooperatives, culinary entrepreneurs and restaurants.

EMERGENCY FOOD ACCESS

By convening and collaborating with the many food pantries, soup kitchens, and pop-up food distributions that operate in Whitehaven, this group aims to distribute healthy food to families through a more coordinated system.

GROCERY ACCESS & CULINARY ENTREPRENEURSHIP

This working group supports the creation and sustainability of grocery and culinary businesses in the community.

FOOD EDUCATION

This working group focuses on changing the narrative around food access and healthy habits.

GARDEN & FARMS

This working group supports, activates and connects Whitehaven’s network of food growers.

MARKETING

This working group increases awareness of Whitehaven Eats and our projects, making sure the community is informed about food access opportunities and events.
