HOPE Collaborative

HOPE Collaborative Our mission is to advance racial, economic, and health equity in Oakland through community-driven food and neighborhood initiatives. Food Systems, 2.

The HOPE Collaborative envisions vibrant Oakland neighborhoods that provide equitable access to affordable, healthy, locally grown food; safe and inviting places for physical activity and play; sustainable, successful, local economies—all to the benefit of the families and youth living in Oakland's most vulnerable neighborhoods. The HOPE Collaborative brings together Oakland flatland community mem

bers and organizations to transform neighborhoods by promoting access to healthy, local food and safe places to live and play. We help neighborhoods build community wealth by advocating for programs and policies that support a locally owned food system. The HOPE Collaborative has three action teams: 1. Built Environment, 3. Economic and Civic Community Ownership.
