 Are you tired of having to go to multiple websites to look up critical information about food resources near you? Well, the Columbia Food Policy Committee and the city's GIS department work together to create an innovative solution to that issue. The Food Access GIS map provides you and your family with a list of various sites to access healthy, affordable food. It includes farmer's markets, food pantries, food share sites, free summer meals for youth, and grocery stores. The cool thing about this map is that it shows you sites not just located within the city limits of Columbia, but also resources within Richland County. The Food Distribution and Grocery Store map, created by our city's GIS department, provides our residents with multiple tools to help them locate where there is access to food throughout our city. On the left side of the screen, on the Layers tab, the public can pinpoint where there are certain types of food centers, including food distribution locations, which are highlighted in purple, grocery stores, which are highlighted by an orange grocery cart, and free summer meal sites for youth ages 18 and under, which are highlighted by green. The public can toggle each one of these categories on and off, as well as click on any dot on the map to obtain more information about that site. You can even click on the address and it will take you to the individual site on a separated map. On the right side of the map, you'll find Food Distribution Search Tools. This allows the public to search for popular inquiries, like where free summer food sites are for our youth, depending on what time of the day it is, or what type of meal it is, or if you wanted to search by food provider names, food provider types, or certain grocery stores. There's even a pre-selected list you can choose from. Another important tool that you can use is searching for what is within one mile of a certain address. Just click on the big magnifying glass on the right side of the map and enter the address you want. You can also use the near me button to find out what is within one mile where you are currently are, or you can use the pinpoint button to select any place on the map. Once selected, you can see all of the sites located within one mile of that location, and get more information about those locations, like address, phone number, and when they are open.
