Take Action LA
In May 2024, Food Access LA was honored to partner with Take Action LA, CalMHSA, LA Department of Mental Health, and Creative Life Mapping for Mental Health Month. Through this partnership, Food Access LA was able to expand the wellness model to include Neighborhood Wellness, with each of the eight farmer’s markets serving as hubs for healthy food, local mental health, housing, health services, career, job, and social service resources. To promote access to a variety of services and resources, Food Access LA further partnered with Creative Life Mapping to create community resource maps and wellness practice toolkits that describe a variety of healthy practices.
