About this Event
Welcome to the 2nd Annual State of Black Food Summit!
Date: Saturday April 5, 2025
Time: 8 AM to 5 PM
Location: 1107 South 17th Street
The State of Black Food Summit, hosted by Change Today, Change Tomorrow, is a one-of-a-kind gathering that addresses food justice and the foodscape in Black communities. This year’s summit will feature two hands-on workshops, a youth panel, and discussions focused on the current food system, with plans for meaningful change over the next year.
This year, the summit’s focus is twofold: engaging participants in practical, hands-on learning in the areas of food waste, financial sustainability, and holistic health, while also laying the groundwork for year-long community action through our working groups.
Seeking volunteers, sign up here. We are also seeking sponsors.
