Get F.E.D. - Food Equality in D.C., is a subcommittee of the Metropolitan Washington Public Health Association (MWPHA) advocating for the elimination of food deserts in Washington, D.C., with particular attention to Ward 8.
Our primary goal is to influence the D.C. Council to pass the Food, Environmental, and Economic Development in the District of Columbia (FEED DC) Act of 2010. The FEED DC Act has three goals: (1) to improve access to healthy foods in low-income neighborhoods; (2) to encourage green technology in food stores; (3) to create good jobs in areas with very high levels of unemployment.
