Denver Healthy Food Access Initiative
The Denver Food Access Initiative grew out of advocacy for grocery stores carried out under the the Park Hill Thriving Communities Initiative. When efforts at the neighborhood level were unsuccessful in securing a grocery store for Park Hill, partners recognized that in order to move forward we needed to set policy that encouraged grocery retail development in Denver's needy communities. Denver Healthy People created a new partnership with The Food Trust, funded by the Colorado Health Foundation, to find innovative ways for encouraging healthy food retail development in Denver. The goal is to eliminate "food deserts" and increase access to grocery stores for all of Denver’s residents. The effort is based on successes across the country that have been led by The Food Trust.
