Abstract

Youngstown, as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is a food desert which makes it hard for Youngstown residences to access affordable and healthy foods. With upwards of $22 million donated to the Kilcawley: Centered on the Future Campaign, renovations for the student center are on track to begin May 5. Local organizations are advocating for food access with ideas such as farmers markets, co-ops, and mobile markets. Students respond to Kilcawley's renovation.
