"Where Is The Food?" Help Put Food on the Map

Every community contains people in need who do not know where to access healthy food in their own community. During the Covid-19 period, youth developed a software application for collecting and entering data about locations to find/get healthy food in their community. You can see the "Where Is The Food?" Map by clicking on the link. You can zoom into the map to see where the identified places to access healthy food. We tend to encourage low-hanging fruit, like farmers' markets, food banks, and food pantries.

We need your help!

1) Identify a healthy food location in your community. (Name, address, phone #, month/days/hours open etc)
2) See the map to see if your food location is already on there. http://bit.ly/DashboardWhereIsTheFood
3) No?

• Use http://bit.ly/SurveyWhereIsTheFood to enter the requested info using your computer or mobile device.
• The name of the submitter is first entry.
• Be sure to use "submit" button at the end of survey form, to submit your health food location to the map.

4) Click the http://bit.ly/DashboardWhereIsTheFood to access the map to see the data point you have added to the where is the food survey form.
