Project Title: Food Autonomy Initiative

Project Description: Goals include redirecting funds from policing and incarceration toward initiatives that will help to uplift Carbondale’s citizens.

Its focus is on increasing access to healthy food grown in neighborhood gardens, beyond the barriers of the market or government food assistance programs (e.g., SNAP).
