MEET THE TEAMS
Charter Members
In 2015 a committed group of neighborhood activists recognized the need for quality grocery stores in food desert communities south of Interstate 30 in Dallas. They formed FEED Oak Cliff with the goal of recruiting stores to serve the more than 200, 000 residents living in an area larger than Metro Atlanta. They also began hosting an annual event, the Dallas VegFest, a free festival celebrating nutrition, health and environmental sustainability. They are passionate, creative and dedicated to the mission.
