DC Greens uses the levers of food education, food access, and food policy to advance food justice in the nation’s capital; they run programs like the Produce Prescription program, which allows doctors to prescribe free produce to residents with diet-related chronic illnesses; the Trellis Program, which provides DC educators with free professional development workshops on food education; DC Produce Plus, a city-funded program that allows low-income residents to receive weekly vouchers for produce from farmers’ markets; and an Advocates Training program to resource community members with a lived experience of food insecurity to advocate for issues that matter to them in the food system. DC Greens was the lead organizer for the Grocery Walk, a community-based demonstration to elevate the issue of healthy food access in D.C.
