Kings County
Brooklyn’s neighborhoods are rich in history, diversity, and culinary innovation. While a growing local food movement is reshaping access to healthy foods, too many residents still face economic and logistical barriers to nutritious meals. Project FoodBox partners with community organizations across Brooklyn to bring fresh, healthy food directly to families, helping build stronger, healthier neighborhoods.
Kings County's Agricultural Heritage
Once fertile land tended by the Lenape — rich with cornfields, wild berries, fish, and coastal shellfish — Brooklyn later became one of America’s largest vegetable and flower-growing hubs before urban development. Today, urban farms, community gardens, and markets reflect that agricultural spirit, even as inequalities in access to fresh, healthy food remain. Community efforts honor Brooklyn’s roots by building a more equitable food future.

Addressing Food Waste and Nourishing Kings County
Brooklyn’s neighborhoods are rich in community gardens and urban agriculture, yet many residents still encounter high food prices and limited fresh options. Project FoodBox works to solve both problems — ensuring that wholesome, regionally sourced foods feed families rather than being wasted, and supporting a more equitable food ecosystem for all of Brooklyn.

Picture a Brooklyn where nutritious, culturally inspired meals fuel families, energize students, and support seniors in every neighborhood. Access to fresh food strengthens health and fuels creativity across the borough. Project FoodBox helps bring that future forward by ensuring medically aligned nutrition is available to all.
