About the Program: 

Community wellness requires meeting tomorrow’s challenges with collaboration in sustainable synergy. Let’s improve neighbourhoods using Whole Foods values in harnessing the imagination of the elderly, wisdom of youth, power of the disenfranchised, and partnerships not thought possible. The "at risk" communities of Malvern/Galloway/Danzig/Mornelle struggle from the shadows of poverty and neglect but by using a pillar of nutritional education(self reflection/awareness); hands on experience (employment), environmental awareness (sustainable), and collaboration (teamwork) the "at risk" label will become a "we can" calling card. With high density subsidized apartment buildings, gang culture, and little employment it's police officers and school teachers that can help. We will develop youth employment, "green" marketing/delivery systems; produce/feed nutrition; educate users/producers of sustainability/environment; and collaborate with generosity in leaving our silos and growing a better world
