We seek a Rockwood neighborhood that is Inspired, Resilient, Thriving, Durable, and Enduring.
The Rockwood Food System Collaborative works for the flourishing of all in east Multnomah County.
People are hungry for food, they are hungry for business success, and they are hungry for social justice. These three sectors intersect in Rockwood, where great change is occurring in food systems.
We use food, nutritional education, business incubation and agricultural development as tools to help our neighbors attain better health outcomes, greater equity, more prosperity, a cleaner environment, and more social capital.
We work collaboratively to align our missions, visions and values; to resource each other; to seek outside resources; and, to work on specific projects and strategies together.
Being present matters.
We benefit those who need us the most and are willing to respond to our initiatives.
We help prepare our community for future impacts and opportunities to thrive.
We pursue the disconnected and work for equitable outcomes.
The undersigned organizations are informally aligned now and are considered the Charter Members of the Collaborative. New membership is applied for by regular attendance and expressed desire to participate. Individual neighbors are welcome to join. At this time the convening and grant-requesting organization is the Rockwood CDC.
