Mill City Grows' Development and Marketing VISTA
 
 
 
Mill City Grows (MCG) has been working on innovative ways to combat food injustice in Lowell, Massachusetts since 2011. We pursue this mission through the following strategies and programs: education both in and out of schools, supporting community leadership through community gardens, increasing urban agriculture in Lowell through two urban farms, implementing a mobile market, and empowering people to produce their own food. MCG’s two main program areas are Food Access and Food Education. Our education programs create the conditions needed to grow food justice and food access in Lowell. Our programming is designed to: 1) Grow healthier communities and home eating and cooking habits; 2) Grow healthier school curricula, cafeterias and healthier kids; and 3) Continue to make Lowell a more sustainable environment and eliminate food deserts throughout the City. Our work in Food Justice is rooted in the idea that a well-educated community will make healthier choices.
