Community Equitability Group
Our Purpose
Community Equitability Group (CEG) was founded during the Covid-19 Pandemic. We connected to discuss our food insecurity/access and health.We focus on 6 major areas of concern: 1) Food Justice: access, sovereignty, cultural/religous & health appropriate foods 2) economic inequality & empowerment 3) health & well-being 4) Climate & environmental justice, focus: floods, pollinators 5) land access, organic regenerative repair with Indigenous community & lands, 6) tech justice. Our first solution: The Resiliency Gardens Project was created to increase Food Justice: grow organic food in raised beds in our yards. CEG Food Bags: organic produce donated by local farmers & rescued food from grocery stores through a wonderful partnership with Foodlink. They rescue & deliver, we store, pack & distribute. In 2023, we distributed 12,500 pounds of food.CEG Food Bags focus on people experiencing food insecurity, living in public housing, recent refugees & folks stuggling with food prices. We support people in medical and family crisis, too. We founded on mutual aid principles, we model 'Community Equitability' with a wide ranging sliding fee scale for our Resiliency Gardens Project program. 'The Growing Space' follows our mission: grow local organic produce, regional just transistion, economic empowerment, creativity. Model small, local sustainable business while creating a regional just economy.
