Food in Neighborhoods Community Coalition https://linktr.ee/foodinneighborhoods

The Food in Neighborhoods Community Coalition (FIN) is a group of concerned organizers, activists, and community members who come together to discuss and collaborate to improve the food system of Louisville. The Food in Neighborhoods Community Coalition is a broad coalition of individuals and representatives of groups working to build a more equitable, healthy and sustainable food and farm system

in and around Louisville. A commitment to the above goal and shared values of inclusiveness, anti-oppression, fairness and equity are the magnetic core of the coalition. Government employees in related departments will be invited to participate in the coalition in their role as public officials in service to the city. FIN is 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 neighborhoodsmost directly and negatively affected by the dominant food regime. The FIN Community Coalition meets quarterly 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 thecoalition determines will bring Louisville closer to the above goals
• dialogue about ways to effectively support and coordinate aroundthose initiatives
• determine specific actions on which individuals and groups can collaborate

A Garlicky Sunday Morning! Yes, this Sunday - 9:00AM-12:00PM

Howdy folks! We’re ramping up for our annual fall garlic planting session. We’ll be seeding the unrented garden beds with the harvest from last year, and giving out the extra as a pay-what-you-can fundraising effort for the garden.

This event also marks the transitional period to rent for 2026! Current gardeners, that means beginning the prep to winterize your garden beds. New gardeners, you can sign up for a membership in person at our event or at the link in bio!
