York Road Initiative works with residents to research and develop sustainable models for food access and security in the Govans area.

• Operate Govanstowne Farmers’ Market, providing affordable access to fresh produce and whole foods every summer since 2010
• 2013 Food Access Survey, a research project engaging 200 neighbors to learn their food needs
• Implement FreshCrate, a partnership between three, independent corner stores and Loyola’s Parkhurst Dining Services to provide competitively priced produce to address year-round food insecurity
