Homefull believes that adequate access to food is a fundamental right for everyone. The organization works to eliminate food apartheid areas in the community by bringing groceries and choice to neighborhoods where there are concentrations of low-income and senior households with limited resources and barriers to accessing food. To address this issue, Homefull is building a 48,000-square-foot Health, Food and Jobs Center at Gettysburg Avenue. Funds will be used to support the project, which is under construction and will offer a full-service grocery store, regional food hub, entrepreneurial farmers market, primary care physician offices, pharmacy and community education center.
