Billings Forge Community Works

Billings Forge Community Works (BFCW) envisions a strong, stable and vibrant Frog Hollow where all residents have access to healthy and affordable food; where all youth have access to quality education and enrichment programming; and where there are job opportunities for all neighborhood residents.

BFC W is a driving force for community participation and empowerment in Frog Hollow through promoting access to healthy food; engaging youth; and developing employment opportunities and economically sustainable social enterprises.

Guiding Principles:
Authentic Community Engagement: We will invest in activities that authentically reflect the needs and wants of the community, are of the highest quality, and that make a significant impact.

Food for Good: We will utilize our deep expertise in diverse culinary enterprises for the benefit of the community, including increasing access to quality, local food.

Collaboration: We will collaborate with community stakeholders, not duplicate the efforts of other organizations, and we will provide leadership in the community where appropriate.

Sustainability: We believe that our social enterprises should – as much as possible – operate as sustainable business enterprises while meeting their social mission
