Purpose of the Advisory Council

​The Soul Food Project’s Advisory Council is a group of community members that provides valuable feedback, guidance, and advice on the organization’s programs and initiatives. The goal is to ensure that our work in food justice and urban farming is aligned with the needs and values of the communities we serve.

Advisory Council Goals

• Providing Input and Guidance on Food Access Initiatives: The council's purpose is to ensure that the programs proposed by Soul Food Project are aligned with the community's needs.

• Focusing on Collaborative Work with the Community: The goal is to shift from doing things to the community to doing things with the community.

• Addressing Food Access Challenges: The Council aims to help identify whether the programs effectively address food access issues and reach neighbors who need food but may not be directly connected to existing networks. 

How will we meet

• Frequency: Meetings will be held quarterly.

• Format: The meetings can be conducted virtually (if weather permits, we can meet at different farm locations), providing flexibility for members.

• Stipend: Council members will receive a $100 stipend for attending council meetings.
