Charlotte has food deserts. We're helping change that.

A food desert is a neighborhood where it's hard to find affordable, healthy food nearby. Many families in Charlotte, especially in the west and north corridors, live more than a mile from a grocery store.

RootSprout bridges two gaps at once: teaching families to grow their own food and making it easy to find immediate help when they need it most.
