Whole Cities Foundation

Whole Cities Foundation is a non-profit organization established by Whole Foods Market to improve community health through increased access to fresh, nutritious food and nutrition education. The foundation partners with community-led organizations to support local food systems and address food insecurity in underserved areas across the United States and Canada. Through initiatives like the Community First Grant Program, it provides financial resources and technical assistance to grassroots projects such as urban farms, mobile markets, and community gardens. The organization's mission is rooted in the belief that community-led solutions are the most effective way to create sustainable changes in public health and food equity. By focusing on the social determinants of health, the foundation aims to reduce the prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases.
