Building Audacity


ur Food Justice Program started as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Youth within the Building Audacity community shared their inability to secure a healthy food source that provided culturally aligned food. We then started a food program in which volunteers sorted and delivered food to the door steps of some of the most vulnerable Greater Boston families. We surveyed families, asked them what they wanted, and did our best to provide fresh produce and other healthy dry goods. This program was quite costly and finding food sources that the community desired was rare. Our founder, who is well versed in hydroponic growing, decided to start a hydroponic center in which youth learn to grow and distribute produce to their families and those registered with our food delivery program.Â
