Want to advocate for more healthy and sustainable food resources in your neighborhood? The city of Winston-Salem’s Department of Sustainability needs your feedback to identify where food is in abundance or lacking across the community.

Your input will help the city understand the challenges residents may be facing to access healthy food. Certain factors include distance to the nearest grocery store, price of groceries, and quality of food available.
