A veteran of the Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) sector, Scott Sporte has helped shape Capital Impact Partners’ lending priorities and has envisioned innovative pathways for supporting our communities. Scott recently transitioned from his role as Chief Lending Officer to a new role within Capital Impact, Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer.
In this interview, Scott discusses new focuses for CDFIs, outlines his vision for his role, and describes how championing equity and inclusion can transform the communities that Capital Impact serves.
We believe everyone deserves a voice and economic pathways that allow them to shape their own futures.
We believe that a community’s voice and economic opportunities can be strengthened with the right tools. Our objective is to develop tools for and with our communities that amplified their voices and created hope, shared prosperity, justice and inclusion.
Throughout our Annual Report, you will find personal stories of impact illustrating how we use financial innovation and programmatic development to unlock capital in support of social and racial justice efforts taking place across the country.
In Washington, D.C., you will meet Diana, a mother of three, who is furthering her own education at the same school as her youngest child thanks to Briya Public Charter School’s innovative “two generation” model. In addition, access to health care is only steps away at Mary’s Center, which co-locates space to serve the students, their families, and the community at large.
Across the country in Washington State, you will meet 75-year-old Rae, who joined a home care cooperative and now owns a stake in her future. Cooperatives like the one that Rae joined believe in democratic member control and member economic participation. As a result, Rae is now earning a living wage while also having a management share in the company.
We’ll also take you along with the doctors at Ole Health who are bringing their services to their local community to ensure equitable access to care for those who do not or cannot visit their health centers in Northern California.
And in Detroit, we will introduce you to Alisha, Chase, and Damian, three inspiring individuals who are part of a larger group participating in our first EDI cohort. Through training and mentorship, we are working with minority real estate developers in Detroit to help change the face of the development community and empower local developers to bring their unique perspectives while shaping the resurgence of the city.
In addition to these stories of impact, we also had a number of key accomplishments in 2017, including:
Surpassing $2.5 billion in community investments since our inception spurred by our 2017 volume that topped $220 million across 10 different states and the District of Columbia — the highest volume in our organization’s history. Our investments created health care access for 200,000 patients, created 15,000 school seats, and supported healthy food access for more than 45,000 customers.
Launching our $100 million S&P-rated Notes offering — the first offered by a Community Development Financial Institution on a continuous basis. Our Notes gave both retail and institutional investors the opportunity to invest in alignment with their values. Within just three months after our launch in the fall, we issued more than $44 million in Notes to support our mission.
Creating new capital-raising opportunities with Annaly Capital Management, a national leader in the Real Estate Investment Trust sector on an exciting new joint venture. This $25 million effort represents a unique opportunity to leverage these resources to invest $75 million in deserving communities.
We look forward to 2018 with great enthusiasm. We are well positioned to dive deep to further our impact, launch new social innovation programs, and create partnerships at community, regional, and national scales that empower communities and provide them with the resources they need to thrive.
The progress we have made would not have been possible without the support of our investors, funders, and our partners. We stand taller knowing that you are with us and we thank you for your unwavering support.

So many qualities define the life of a Cooperative Hall of Fame hero. Conviction and focus. Vision and persistence. Innovation and leadership. All contributing to a life dedicated to cooperative development and shared prosperity.
These characteristics are a perfect way to describe Rosemary Mahoney and Paul Bradley, lifelong champions of cooperative development. This week, Rosemary and Paul join other cooperative heroes as they are inducted into the Cooperative Hall of Fame, commemorating decades as cooperative developers. Rosemary and Paul’s contributions to the cooperative industry are undeniable; both have shaped our cooperative framework through their work and insights. It is great to have two long-term innovators in the co-op space so closely connected with Capital Impact, and we are proud to see them join this illustrious group of cooperative visionaries. A brief look at each of their histories shows why they are truly Co-op Heroes.
Boyle Heights is a bustling Latino neighborhood just east of downtown Los Angeles with a history dating back before the Mexican-American War. However, it’s the pressures of the present day that weigh heavily here. Approximately 66 percent of the population lives below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, 22 percent are uninsured, and few primary care doctors remain. The systemic poverty the residents grapple with creates ripple effects throughout their lives.
The ability to access affordable health care is among the most critical challenges. Many in Boyle Heights, and similar communities across California, wait until they are so sick that they are forced to visit the emergency room because they cannot afford health insurance. Having to make such decisions can have negative ramifications not only on their own long-term health but for the entire health care system in the region.
OLE Health and other CHCs have become frontline providers of many kinds of care, taking on care that they historically have not provided.
In the face of such struggles in Boyle Heights and communities like it, there are a few health care providers that provide a safety net for local residents. In the northwest area of Boyle Heights, for example, White Memorial Community Health Center serves approximately 20,000 patients. This community health center (CHC) provides crucial primary and preventative care, behavioral health and dental services, and serves as an alternative to emergency room care for low-income patients in a generally underserved community.
East of San Francisco, Tri-City Health Center offers primary and preventative health care services to low-income and uninsured patients in the Alameda County area. In a new 20,000 square foot facility amid a large immigrant population, Tri-City implements a Patient Centered Medical Home model — which coordinates care across teams (i.e. medical, behavioral health, lab) — serving 8,000 patients and employing staff that cover 20 languages, which is reflective of the surrounding community.
Urban and rural communities alike would fall through the cracks without the services provided by CHCs like White Memorial and Tri-City. It is their ability to serve residents, no matter their socio-economic status or ability to pay, that creates an equitable system of care necessary to build healthier communities.
In order to continue providing this kind of high-quality community care, CHCs need adequate financing to grow to reach more patients and provide more patient-centered, whole-person care. But financing can be hard to come by. Too often, CHCs operate in areas deemed too risky by traditional financial institutions.
As a mission-driven organization focused on social impact and equitable access, it is critical to Capital Impact Partners to help CHCs fill that gap. That is why we collaborated with long-term partner The California Endowment (TCE) to find ways to better support the growth and innovation of CHCs and ensure that communities do not have to go without the critical health care services on which they depend.
Adapting to Create Sustainable Community Health Impact
Our teams at Capital Impact Partners have spent time talking to health center operators to better understand their needs and how we could help. What struck us most during those conversations was how clinics are expanding their services to take on care that they historically have not provided.
As more older adults seek care at CHCs, health care providers are expanding these services to address their needs.
Hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are partnering to better serve local populations. FQHCs mainly focus on primary care, but some are moving into urgent care to reduce emergency room visits at local hospitals. CHCs are incorporating dental and urgent care, as well as new wellness and preventative care services, including healthy food counseling, yoga, and disease prevention and management support.
Ensuring that we could create sustainable social impact for California communities meant that we had to adapt alongside CHCs. To meet that need, Capital Impact and TCE established The Healthier California Fund, a $20 million initiative providing loans, grants, and capacity building. Our goal with this new effort was not only to support traditional growth and expansion, but also to foster new innovations in care among CHCs. By helping these organizations meet their range of needs, the CHCs can focus on what they do best: support each patient with care from physical and dental care to behavioral health and overall wellness.
“Health centers provide a core service for their communities,” said Ian Wiesner, manager, Business Development at Capital Impact. “They increasingly are stretching above and beyond their normal mandate, both integrating additional services to address the complete wellness of their patients and taking on new patient segments to address the needs of the whole community. Creating the Healthier California Fund provided a unique opportunity to support this expansion of innovative care, particularly for communities where patients struggle to access vital health services affordably from traditional providers.”
“The California Endowment is committed to improving the health of all Californians,” said Amy Chung, director, Program Related Investments at The California Endowment. “Our partnership with Capital Impact Partners through the Healthier California Fund has not only increased access to critical health services but also supported innovative models of holistic, whole patient care.”
We were able to put this effort into action with LifeLong Medical Care, which serves the Richmond community twelve miles north of Oakland, California. A high proportion of the city’s racially diverse population lives below 200 percent of the federal poverty line. Providing for the needs of this underserved community as the only FQHC meant, for years, that Lifelong had to find any space possible to accommodate patient visits. After working out of three separate sites throughout the city, LifeLong needed to centralize its operations out of one location so it could better serve 7,400 local residents.
With financing through our Fund, that site will become the William Jenkins Health Center, a new three-story, 34,784 sq. ft. clinic offering primary care, behavioral health services, dental care, urgent care, and lab and imaging services. The new medical center will also provide wellness services such as diabetes prevention, smoking cessation, music and art groups, and stress management classes. In addition, LifeLong is increasingly serving older adult patients referred to them by regional hospitals.
Like the residents of Richmond, patients of both White Memorial and Tri-City have benefitted from more whole-person care financed through the Healthier California Fund, including behavioral and dental health and urgent care services.
Empowering Community Health Centers Through Capacity Building
Before CHCs could expand their innovative services, they needed the skills to manage the process. Many small community health centers work with a lean administrative staff and often do not have the capacity or expertise to take on the additional work involved with planning and constructing a new health care facility. They needed assistance before taking on these projects to make sure they were prepared and had fully considered the impacts the project could have on their operations. Grants were given to prospective CHCs at the beginning of the Healthier California Fund to build their capacity to manage the loans they later received.
“We knew that in order to support innovation and help grassroots health centers grow, we needed to provide more than capital. The Healthier California program allowed us to match our capital with the technical assistance these administrators needed to properly plan their projects,” said Wiesner.
One grantee that has benefitted from this capacity building element is Roots Community Health Center. Roots CHC was created to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes among residents of East Oakland, California, one of the most disinvested neighborhoods in the city. Roots CHC serves nearly 10,000 patients, most of whom either use Medi-Cal or are uninsured. Roots provides a range of services, including primary care, behavioral health, workforce navigation, and job creation programs for formerly incarcerated people. Its services also link to transitional housing and entrepreneurship training.
Roots needed a loan to purchase and renovate a building and transform it into a health facility to better meet the demands of their community. But this small community organization had never taken on this type of project before, and had to be sure that taking on this building — and the associated construction — was financially and logistically feasible. A grant from the Healthier California Fund enabled Roots to bring on a consultant to help forecast the financial implications of the project and prepare the team for the construction process. Now Roots is ready to bring the project to fruition.
Capital Impact is currently working with several more health centers to provide capacity building to get them ready for financing and construction. Combined, these grantees could impact more than 21,000 patients.
Overall, the Healthier California Fund has financed seven community health centers that will provide more than 91,000 patients with vital health care. Community members will receive more and more diverse kinds of care as clinics and hospitals collaborate to divide and conquer the health care needs of their patients.
Combining capacity building and financial support through Healthier California has helped CHCs expand high-quality and efficient health care for their target clientele. Our continued partnership with TCE will help us expand our work as the largest health care lender in California; we have provided financing to more than 50 percent of all FQHCs in the state. We remain committed to ensuring that CHCs acquire the skills and capital that they need to remain vibrant, vital parts of their community fabric.

In 1982, Capital Impact was created with a single focus — support the development of cooperatives in communities.
Charter schools create opportunities for innovation that drive academic success for students in communities.
Along the way, we gradually expanded our scope to meet the growing needs of the communities we served by working to increase access to health care, education, housing, and healthy food.
A handful of loans slowly grew into a truly diversified portfolio of offerings as we took the risk to partner with those organizations that traditional financial institutions shied away from. Twenty-five years after we began lending in 1984, we hit an incredible milestone of deploying $1 billion into low- and medium-income communities across the country.
We are humbled that just eight years after that initial milestone, we more than doubled that achievement by deploying more than $2.5 billion through the end of our record-breaking efforts in 2017.
It is a true testament to our mission-driven team for living our mission statement by delivering both the capital AND commitment that enables those most in need to build communities of opportunity that break barriers to success.
While we pause to celebrate, we also know that we must increase our resolve. Too many of us continue to struggle, with a disproportionate impact on people of color.
To help solve the key social and racial justice issues facing our society, we must continue to make inroads in achieving our strategic pillars to address systemic poverty, create equity, build healthy communities, and promote inclusive growth.
Innovative health care models support older adults to age with dignity in their communities.
This requires supporting our lending work by deploying new and innovative programs backed by cutting-edge research; making the case for support from lawmakers at the federal, state, and local levels; amplifying our impact investing efforts with both individuals and large institutions; and forming partnerships that ensure that our solutions are grounded in what communities both need and can act on.
We did not get to this point alone, and for that I want to thank all of those who have supported us, as well as those organizations who are working directly with often-neglected communities every day to deliver the services they need to thrive.
By working together, I know that we can empower communities to achieve transformative progress in 2018 and beyond.
As wildfires burned through California’s Napa and Sonoma Counties in late 2017, Sandy Cesario was forced to evacuate her home and all she knew. Like many of the 5,000 residents of her small Calistoga town, she took refuge at one of the county’s evacuation centers filled with uncertainty.
That was the last place she expected to see her personal doctor.
Despite the challenges, positive outcomes are achievable. Capital Impact aims to fund schools willing to rise to the challenge and create and maintain diverse by design school campuses.
Our extensive research yielded examples of several best practices for schools pursuing the diverse by design model, including:
Locating schools in naturally diverse neighborhoods or on the border of racially or socio-economically diverse communities;
Instituting a weighted lottery system for student recruitment that takes into account socio-economic status, parental education levels, and/or census tract;
Training teachers and staff on equitable and culturally responsive pedagogical practices and recruiting diverse personnel; and
Promoting the benefits of integration to students, families, and communities.
Montessori for All students help break ground on their “diverse by design” school building.
Capital Impact has presented these findings, in partnership with thought partners and schools at the National Charter School Conference, the Central Valley Leadership Program, and a gathering hosted by the Diverse Charter Schools Coalition.
These schools are promoting academic excellence for all by creating inclusive and nurturing environments in which all students have equitable opportunities to succeed, and we look forward to collaborating to continue this progress.
For more about how Capital Impact is working to support the “diverse by design” model, we invite you to learn more about our overall education work and strategy behind why we finance charter schools.
Across the country, unemployment numbers are down and the news talks of economic recovery and the booming stock market. Outside of that news, however, are many people who are still struggling to achieve equal opportunity and prosperity with the rest of the country.
Transformative investments are needed to get struggling Americans into the mainstream economy and working toward a brighter future.
This means access to health centers, charter schools, affordable housing, grocery stores that sell fresh and healthy food, transportation, and other infrastructure improvements. However, access to financing can be a major barrier to these projects getting off the ground.
Financial services, investment capital, and affordable credit from traditional financial institutions has historically been limited for those looking to serve low-income communities.
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) have played a major role in empowering communities to address the structural barriers that exclude them from shared prosperity.
What are CDFIs exactly? How do they work? Whom do they serve? Here is a breakdown…
Insight into CDFIs
Martha’s Table provides healthy food to Washington, D.C. communities daily.
CDFIs as we know them today began more than three decades ago as private financial institutions focused on increasing economic prosperity for low-income and underserved communities by providing affordable lending for community projects. Today, more than 1,000 CDFIs operate across the United States.
Over time, their work has evolved to address key issues of economic, social, racial, and political justice. These mission-driven institutions provide support in disinvested areas that traditional lending institutions deem too risky to finance; in fact, they are mandated to embrace risk in order to create social impact.
CDFIs fall into four sectors: community development banks, community development credit unions, community development loan funds, and community development venture capital funds. Each has a slightly different way of operating, but the end product is the same: communities of opportunity that break down barriers to success.
CDFIs work as market creators and market catalysts by supporting community businesses—including small and family businesses, micro-enterprises, cooperatives, non-profit social service organizations, mixed-use real estate, and affordable housing. CDFIs’ ability to foster catalytic change comes from loans and grants from government institutions like the CDFI Fund, loans and grants from large financial institutions, and program-related investments from major donors and foundations.
Meals on Wheels support older adults to age within their communities.
Financing from CDFIs targets specific populations – often low-income individuals in both urban and rural settings, and heavily concentrated with women and people of color. These high-impact interventions build community infrastructure and resilience.
CDFIs work for and with the communities they serve, developing strategic financing packages – ranging from pre-development to real estate acquisition, from construction to refinancing – for vital projects needed to help communities succeed. Generally smaller than mainstream financial lenders, CDFIs come in different sizes and provide loans ranging from $50,000 to $5 million. CDFIs have also jointly raised capital to deploy larger loans in the multi-millions.
In addition to core lending services, some CDFIs also provide capacity building, help build and scale social innovation programs and support policy advocacy as a means of further supporting local organizations. Combined with our lending services, these efforts promote increased job growth and retention, improving communities’ economic outlook and viability.
Importantly, CDFIs are not in business to maximize profits. Instead, CDFIs maximize support for community needs and empowerment.
CDFIs’ Immense Impact on Communities
The impact of CDFIs shows in their support and empowerment of underserved communities to address the barriers that hold them back from shared prosperity.
Axis Community Health provides high-quality health care services for its clients.
In 2016, CDFIs supported by the CDFI Fund financed nearly 12,000 businesses, created 37,600 jobs, and created 34,000 affordable housing units. Nearly 450,000 individuals received financial literacy capacity building through CDFIs. As part of the CDFI Fund’s Bond Guarantee Program, $119 million was spent on rental housing, $102 million on charter schools, $13.3 million for health care facilities, $2.7 million on daycare centers and $2.9 million on small businesses.
Capital Impact Partners’ Role in the Space
Equitas Academy is one of many charter schools preparing students for future success.
Since 1982, Capital Impact has served often-neglected communities, starting with the cooperative model to foster economic development for low- and moderate-income areas.Our non-profit, mission-driven lending began in 1984 and progressively expanded to support communities nationwide, including establishing offices in Oakland, California and Detroit, Michigan. Capital Impact also grew to support access to quality health care, education, housing, healthy food, dignified aging and cooperative development.
Capital Impact Partners works to improve the lives and futures of individuals and communities through four strategic pillars: addressing systematic poverty, building equitable communities, creating healthy communities, and ensuring inclusive growth.
Through it’s place-based focus, Capital Impact Partners has played an integral role in revitalization efforts in Detroit.
Since its inception, Capital Impact has deployed more than $3 billion for community development projects nationwide. In that time, our lending has created more than 36,500 units of affordable housing, helped more than 2 million patients receive quality health care, facilitated access to quality education for 240,000 students in 235 charter schools, financed 86 retailers to provide healthy food for 1 million people, helped 37,000 older adults age with dignity through 191 projects, and supported cooperative services for 870,000 customers. Our place-based strategy has also facilitated the revitalization of Detroit neighborhoods, creating mixed-use spaces and multi-family housing to help the city rebound.
In addition to our lending, we advance programs to create equity and opportunity. For example, our EDI program provides catalytic capital and training to minority real estate developers in Detroit so that they can participate in the city’s revitalization efforts. We are also investing nationally in efforts to scale worker-owned, home care cooperatives that are creating quality jobs for women aged 50 and older who care for our loved ones as they age.
Capacity building is another service we extend to organizations. A great example is the Answer Key, a step-by-step guide with practical tools designed to help charter school operators successfully navigate the often difficult process of building or expanding charter schools.
Like several other CDFIs, Capital Impact also embraced impact investing in 2017 by creating Capital Impact Investment Notes as a means to drive more capital from socially conscious investors – big and small – into the communities that need it most.
All that individuals and communities want is the opportunity to succeed. When traditional financial institutions refuse to invest in communities, CDFIs offer a chance of living a dream that so many Americans hold: providing their children with a quality education so that they can achieve greater gains. Receiving quality health care and healthy food access so that they can enjoy many years with family. Having affordable housing to call home.
In supporting communities to reach these goals, Capital Impact Partners and other CDFIs help create equitable and inclusive spaces that lead to communities of opportunity for all.
This year has been a whirlwind for our country and for Capital Impact Partners.
For all the headlines of stock market records and rising incomes, the reality is that too many of us across America are struggling. People of color are disproportionally impacted, with black households still lagging behind where they were in 2000, and Hispanic households not doing much better.
Due to this stark reality, the question “How can we bring about improved outcomes in access, income, health and opportunity in the communities we serve?” remained central to our efforts.
Through our dedicated focus on breaking the barriers to success — and with your support — I am proud to report that this has been our most impactful year ever in working to turn underserved communities into communities of opportunity.
Fostering Innovation to Address Inequity
To answer that central question, we concentrated on identifying and addressing inequalities within systems and driving equitable means for individuals to propel themselves out of poverty and live the dream America is known for.
Several resources were researched and developed to inform practitioners and communities and influence policy makers about best practices in our areas of practice.
We heard from many charter school operators that the school construction process can be daunting. In support of their efforts to build or expand high-quality charter school facilities, Capital Impact published The Answer Key, a step-by-step guide to the school construction and financing process.
With the influx of development in Detroit, long-term residents face the risk of relocation or displacement. Capital Impact published a report to help groups involved in development manage processes to reduce resident displacement.
Alongside these resources, we also developed programs to directly address inequity in access to services and economic participation.
In Detroit, where lending and resources for minority real estate developers are limited, we launched the EDI program. This two-year, $5 million program is designed to help minority developers participate in Detroit’s continued economic recovery by providing them with critical training opportunities and access to capital. Our longtime partner JPMorgan Chase provided initial support.
More broadly across Michigan, the Michigan Good Food Fund invested more than $10 million in statewide healthy food programs since its launch two years ago, creating approximately 213 construction jobs, 366 full-time jobs and 32 part-time jobs.
Cooperatives can provide a considerable economic and social benefit for communities. Our cooperative work focused on expanding racial and economic equity to the communities we serve by supporting worker, food and housing co-ops. We gave our third year of Co-op Innovation Awards to Project Equity and the Food Co-op Initiative for exemplifying innovation in the co-op space with a focus on communities of color.
Additionally, there has been movement in the home care worker cooperative space. Capital Impact partnered with the AARP Foundation to create quality work options for women 50 and older through a national effort to scale worker-owned, home care cooperatives. With women – mostly women of color – making up 90% of all home care workers and wages for these jobs keeping workers hovering around the poverty line, worker ownership is a viable option for giving older women employment empowerment while providing quality care for their clients.
Supporting Communities to Succeed
Our lending team also had an incredibly full year. Fueled by a record-breaking projected loan volume of more than $200 million, 2017 will be our largest year ever.
Martha’s Table’s relocation and expansion in a new community-services campus will help address local disparities.
As we have expanded our lending, we have also expanded our footprint. We’ve reached into new geographic areas to continue addressing the increasing need of communities across the country, including work in the Southeast and Midwest. I am particularly excited about our growing focus in the “backyard” of our headquarters. We helped launch a number of impactful projects in Washington, D.C., including a focus on education with the Mamie D. Lee development, Martha’s Table and the D.C. International School.
Setting a Foundation for the Future
Along with these outward successes to empower new communities of opportunity, we made great strides in focusing inward to further position ourselves to address the nation’s biggest challenges. In January, S&P Global, the world’s leading provider of independent credit ratings, assigned Capital Impact a “AA issuer credit rating.” Being one of a few Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) that have received an S&P rating is not only an honor, but it improves our ability to access financial tools that allow us to support vibrant economic opportunity and shared prosperity.
That set the stage for the October launch of our Capital Impact Investment Notes. This first-of-its-kind offering from a CDFI — with its own “AA” S&P rating and offered on a continuous basis — gives us the flexibility to invest in new programs and initiatives in communities needing support. It has already been incredibly well-received, selling more than $41 million in the last quarter, making it among the most successful in the impact investment space by a non-profit.
We closed the year by launching a unique partnership with Annaly Capital Management. Through this first-of-its-kind $25 million joint venture with the world’s largest REIT, we were able to raise direct equity for our mission. We are thrilled to embark on this partnership, as it enables us to expand our work to new communities.
Of course, these numbers mean little without impact. We reached more than 200,000 beneficiaries this year and created more than 750 jobs.
I am immensely proud of the work that our team has done to make this year our best yet. Their commitment allowed us to increase access to health care, education, affordable housing and healthy food for many deserving individuals. You can learn more about our approach and focus on equity from my interview with the More Than Money podcast.
More than ever, communities across the country need support to help themselves out of poverty, and Community Development Financial Institutions are becoming an ever greater tool for realizing that goal.
Capital Impact is well placed to continue affecting positive change for communities in 2018 and beyond.
Of course, we can’t do it alone. Thank you for all of your support, this year and in the future.
Community engagement is a critical component to our work at Capital Impact, particularly as supporters of innovative community-based work. As a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we support community-driven solutions that address the economic, social and racial justice barriers to success in our most underserved communities. Having first-hand knowledge of our communities and their needs helps us ensure that the projects we support have the outcomes our clients need.
With our home base in the Washington D.C. area, we strive to be present and engaged in the city’s communities. We work with organizations across the city to address various issues of structural exclusion and poverty. One of the areas that Capital Impact focuses on in this effort is healthy food access. Our strategic focus on health care and healthy food ties directly into our call to help communities achieve their full potential. We all need access to healthy food to thrive.
