Come to a Meeting!
The Food In Neighborhoods Community Coalition meets to:
- Ensure that people are aware of current initiatives so they can plug in, support, learn from and avoid duplication
- Develop new or select existing initiatives and policies that the coalition determines will bring Louisville closer to our mission
- Dialogue about ways to effectively support and coordinate around those initiatives
- Determine specific actions on which individuals and groups can collaborate

History
The Food In Neighborhoods Community Coalition was formed in 2012 as a community food policy council. Since then, FIN has been committed to creating a space where all have a voice in shaping a just and resilient food system, with special emphasis on perspectives, expressed needs, and solutions emerging from the neighborhoods that are most directly and negatively affected by the dominant food regime.
FIN supports local efforts and initiates collaborative projects in urban agriculture, food and agricultural policy and advocacy, and food justice and food access in Louisville, Kentucky.
Thank you to our sponsors!
