Food Strong

We cultivate food justice in Northeast Ohio and beyond by building enduring local food systems from the ground up. Thank you for your support!

Food Strong's mission is to use fresh foods as a tool to educate, empower, and cultivate health throughout Northeast Ohio. We have a School Garden program, our Care-A-Van community outreach events, Youth Entrepreneurship, and our newly-launching Care Strong Project, a partnership with UH Family Medicine, Salvation Army and the Case Western Reserve PA Program. The Care Strong Project is a wellness

program offering screenings and guidance into treating food as medicine for Greater Cleveland's most under-resourced communities. Here are our important links: https://linktr.ee/foodstrongcle

Spinach is one of the healthiest vegetables you can grow in Northeast Ohio. Packed with iron, vitamins, and antioxidants, it thrives in cooler weather and grows beautifully in community gardens and backyard beds alike. Fresh, local food starts with simple crops that nourish our neighborhoods from the ground up.

Our 3rd–6th graders at Near West helped us cook fried rice, and it was a huge hit with everyone. Some of the students said, “We should have this every day!” and “This is the best fried rice I have ever had!” We love seeing students get excited about cooking, trying new foods, and learning together in the kitchen.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

As we gather with family, friends, and community, we remember that freedom comes at a cost paid by generations of heroes who sacrificed everything for others.

Today, we reflect with gratitude, serve with compassion, and continue building stronger communities together.

From all of us at Food Strong, thank you to those who served and those we remember today.
