Feed The Hood gave the people building blocks for a healthy and immune life. They were excited to give away 200 bags of100% organic produce. Brands such as Sweet Green and Every Table, and Penny Pound Ice stepped up to make it happen. Volunteers spent hours making sure the bags were filled with goods. Elevate Culture, and DJ QwessCoast provided music to enhance the event. Suprmrket founder Olympia Auset said their mission is to make it easy and affordable for people to eat well in the community. “South Central has 1.3 million people, only 60 grocery stores. African Americans lead every other ethnic group in deaths from preventable diseases like diabetes and cancer.” Auset wants to stop the genocide in the African American communities.
