This event was a huge success for TCAA! More than 160 diverse people attended the event, from students to retirees, all of whom learned about TCAA's work and goals.
The purpose of TCAA co-hosting this environmentally-themed festival was to raise awareness about the connections between food issues, social justice, and environmental sustainability. As TCAA looks to seek out healthier, fresher foods for our clients, the films in this festival highlighted why it is important for all members of our community to have access to healthy foods.
