E-RoadMap Corporation’s initiative in Riviera Beach is making waves in community health, education, and food security. In partnership with No Kid Hungry Florida, they transformed three vacant lots adjacent to John F. Kennedy Middle School into an urban farm, medicinal garden, and shared community space.
Produce harvested, an impressive 12,000 pounds in just one year, is distributed non-GMO and organic to surrounding neighborhoods.
