Khari Edwards Food Distribution in Brooklyn - 1
Khari Edwards, running for Brooklyn Borough President, plans to combat food insecurity by partnering with local community fridge programs. He aims to increase the number of fridges throughout Brooklyn, particularly near community board offices, making food access easier for residents in need.
Funding food transportation and local sourcing
Edwards intends to use the Borough President’s capital budget to support food distribution efforts. By funding transportation for organizations like the Campaign Against Hunger, Fort Greene Food, and JCRC, he hopes to streamline the delivery of fresh produce from local farms, such as Kingsborough, and community gardens to underserved areas.
Creating compost stations for NYCHA residents
To promote sustainability and access to nutrient-rich foods, Edwards plans to establish composting stations outside NYCHA buildings. This initiative would provide sustainable soil for growing healthy produce, creating a cycle of fresh food production right within the community.
