Echoing the sentiment of the importance of outdoor markets close to home, making affordable and nutritious food accessible to the Bronx, The I-Word founder Barbara Tallerman says, "By simply changing our food shopping habits, supporting local farmers, and participating in so many enjoyable activities sponsored by organizations already committed to helping those in need, we are indirectly making our contribution. One by one,” adds Tallerman, “we will make a difference, and, together, strengthen our entire community."

Food For All People will connect everyone in the Bronx and throughout NYC, encouraging participation in local and national organizations working hard to end hunger. Food For All People is a resource for information on a multitude of events such as planting edible gardens, urban farm tours, cooking demonstrations for healthy eating, food festivals, restaurants that donate to food banks, and volunteer opportunities.
