WELCOME + ABOUT US + PERKS

Hello,

Thank you for becoming a Friend of the Market at Food Access LA.

Here’s what your contribution supports right away:

Nine community Farmers' Markets that connect families with fresh, affordable food every week.
A home for more than 160 small farmers, food vendors, and entrepreneurs, many of whom are immigrants, people of color, or women farmers.
Nutrition and cooking education that empowers families with the skills to prepare healthy meals on a budget.
Support for urban agriculture projects that grow culturally relevant crops right in city neighborhoods.

Since our founding in 1996, Food Access LA has worked to close the gap between farmers and communities by creating access to fresh, healthy, affordable, and culturally relevant food.
