Our Daily Bread

Faith and community leaders discuss the health disparities that exist within LA, with a specific focus on the lack of access to quality foods and good jobs in low income communities due to the paucity of quality grocery stores (particularly South LA). The community calls on the grocery industry to reinvest in low income communities like South LA, East LA and the Northeast Valley, in an effort to create good jobs and increase access to quality food and produce in such communities, where health inequities are prevalent.
