Healthy Food Initiative
AfriThrive food initiative is designed to improve the health and nutrition of the most vulnerable
immigrant and minority families. In collaboration with our partners, such as local community groups,
local pantries and sponsors, we provide access to nutritious, culturally appropriate foods.
Donate and Make a Difference: Help us build a world where every family thrives. Your donation provides hope and support to families in need.
AfriThrive Healthy Food Initiative
We also provide capacity building through community gardening of African foods and food-skill development workshops for communities to improve their food environment and thrive independently.
To promote cultural food security, our healthy food initiative is grounded on FOUR pillars:
Nourish
Provide access to nutritious, culturally appropriate food and understanding the pivotal role that cultural practices and preferences play in our eating habits.
Lifestyle
Encourage a healthy lifestyle by intertwining family connections, financial independence, and nutrition to foster a holistic, healthy lifestyle.
Homegrown
Whether you're a green-thumbed enthusiast or a novice just testing the waters we will guide, educate, and inspire you to grow your own produce.
Social Services
We will help you connect to other social services to better serve your needs.
Join AfriThrive in building a sustainable future for African immigrant and minority families. Donate today, subscribe to our newsletter, and be a part of the change. Together, we can make every family thrive.
