About Us
The Elkhart Local Food Alliance is made up of community members and supported by local organizations grounded in the neighborhoods of South Central Elkhart. We are a neighborhood-based collective in the city of Elkhart, connecting with various other local organisations, including ECWT. We seek to cultivate community and create food security through a variety of interactive programs.
Food Security
We can create food security by having greater control over and knowledge about where and how our food is grown, particularly by using space in our own neighborhoods to grow food for ourselves and our neighbors. Food security also means creating access to nutritious food and education about good food choices in all neighborhoods. We are committed to empowering ourselves and our neighbors to do just that, by seeking out and creating thriving, local, sustainable food systems and culture. In our diverse community, food and food cultivation can bring us together for vibrant sharing and collaboration.
Educational Programs
ELFA is committed to creating educational programs and neighborhood gardening spaces which will strengthen our health, economy, environment and community. At the root of our work is a commitment to partnering with existing organisations and neighbors who have experience in working with food systems and who carry a similar vision for strong, healthy neighborhoods.
