Thousands of Washingtonians living in Wards 5, 7, and 8 have acutely limited access to the resources necessary for daily life – including affordable, healthy food. DC Greens places racial justice and health equity at the center of its mission to create a city in which healthy food is a human right and all residents can shape policies and programs for their own communities. Its award-winning Produce Prescription (Produce Rx) program, a Food Is Medicine intervention, enables medical providers to prescribe fresh fruits and vegetables to D.C. Medicaid patients with diet-related chronic illness. The Well at Oxon Run, a community farm in Ward 8, promotes healing in healthy green spaces and offers programming that improves food access in the community. And in 2024, DC Greens launched the Community Leadership Initiative, a leadership development program that brings community voices directly into the organization's decision-making.Together, we can grow a healthier DC.
