About Us
We promote access to fresh, local foods, vital health services and wellness resources. The aim of our programming is to foster community enrichment and empower underserved neighborhoods in the Greater Cleveland area.
How We Got Started
Founder Sara Continenza started her professional journey as a Peace Corps volunteer in Burkina Faso, West Africa, where rain or locusts will make or break a growing season. She eventually served as the Manager of the Stay Well Project at the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland where she would meet children who couldn't identify celery or carrots. This furthered her passion to support access to fresh, healthy foods. She started a School Garden project in 2016, and, in 2018, Food Strong was born to oversee this program.
