Food Access

In the Good Life City and throughout Southwest Georgia, there remains neighborhoods where residents are unable to access the foods essential to a healthy diet. This happens for a variety of reasons, including low-income, lack of access to public transit, and long distances to groceries and markets. Such conditions make it extremely difficult for individuals and families without access to a vehicle to find and purchase healthy foods. Senior citizens who might be less mobile are hit especially hard by this type of isolation.

We address the need for fresh, quality produce in food deserts, neighborhoods where a grocery store is nowhere in sight or too expensive for residents. Getting healthy food into neighborhoods and communities where healthy grocery stores don’t exist is the priority. We offer solutions to make fresh quality produce accessible while our neighbors close to home.
