GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) -A local nonprofit, the Gainesville Housing Authority is partnering with grassroots kitchen for their ‘eat like it matters’ community event Saturday afternoon.
Grassroots Kitchen is the first community kitchen in east Gainesville, with the goal of battling food insecurity in Alachua county through farm to table outreach.

It also addresses the food insecurity needs that are in East Gainesville. The kitchen is also a relief kitchen, so if the price of diesel is too high and there are trucks that are not able to run… food is not able to be bought in stores, Chef has the capability to be able to open grassroots community and relief kitchen, to send out word to the community and address food insecurity needs.”…
