Access to nutritious, affordable food is essential for community well-being. Hartford faces significant barriers, with only one full-service grocery store serving the entire city. This lack of access disproportionately affects people of color and low-income families.
The Healthy Hartford Hub addresses this challenge head-on by:
- developing a full-service supermarket to serve the North Hartford Promise Zone
- reducing food deserts and bringing fresh produce closer to residents
- partnering with community initiatives like the Hartford Advisory Commission on Food Policy
By investing in a sustainable grocery model and advocating for policy changes, we are making healthy food accessible.
