Last month, our CalFresh Healthy Living (CFHL) team distributed fresh produce at Knollwood United Methodist Church in the San Fernando Valley, where we were graciously hosted by the church's Tongan congregation with Reverend Kalesita Tu'ifua. 🙏 This visit marked our first time back at Knollwood this year, and we were grateful for the warm reception and the opportunity to reconnect. 🤝 It was also a pleasure to have APIFM Advisory Board Member Marianna Yamamoto join us for the distribution. 👏 This Sunday morning distribution underscored the shared effort that goes into building community-centered food access programs. 🍽️💚@fo#CalFreshHealthyLivingl#communityfoodaccessF#freshproducee#knollwoodumco#TonganCommunityn#HealthyLivingl#sanfernandovalleyandoValley … See MoreSee Less

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve harvested our very first batch of taro leaves from Alma Backyard Farms’ San Pedro location! 🌱💚 This milestone marks an exciting step in our partnership with Alma, which began in 2022 through the Butterfly Equity Grantee network. Back in February, we planted 110 small taro roots sourced from one of our local farmers, and towards the end of May, with the support of Alma’s incredible team and Joel, our team member Isa Fonua’s father, we were proud to harvest our first batch of taro leaves. In total, we gathered 15 lbs of taro leaves, which we bundled into 28 portions of 6–8 leaves each. The freshly harvested taro leaves, a staple in traditional Pacific Islander dishes, have already been distributed to our Samoan community partners at Dominguez Samoan Congregational Christian Church, where the response has been overwhelmingly positive. This effort was a powerful step toward reconnecting with our cultural roots and ensuring families have access to locally grown, nourishing, and culturally relevant food. Huge thanks to the LA Food Equity Fund and the LA County Food Equity Roundtable for making this work possible. We can’t wait to continue growing together. 🌿🫶

🌱 Our Food Roots Harvest team collaborates with Koreatown Youth + Community Center (KYCC) to provide families with healthy food options. 🥬 Our team prepares grocery bags with 5-6 different fresh vegetables along with a dozen eggs (when available). We are sincerely grateful for the opportunity to support our community and to work alongside KYCC! 🎉
