I am the Development and Grants Specialist for Community Foodworks, a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Washington, DC that pioneers strategies toward a resilient and equitable community-based food system. We leverage our network of 15 farmers markets to increase fresh, healthy food access to underserved populations while creating new revenue opportunities for local farmers practicing responsible agriculture. CFW provides access to healthy, affordable produce for nearly 10,000 residents in Washington, DC and northern Virginia, as well as more than 50 community organizations serving low-income communities and vulnerable groups in DC’s Wards 1, 5, 7 and 8.

People should talk to me about fundraising, partnership and community building, as well as food access strategies.
