Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

THE MISSION OF BLACK FOOD SOVEREIGNTY COALITION (BFSC) IS TO IGNITE BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE AS OWNERS & MOVEMENT LEADERS WITH FOOD SYSTEMS, PLACEMAKING, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

  • GENERAL PROGRAMS - OUR PROGRAMS SUPPORT BIPOC FARMERS, NEW ENTREPRENEURS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH MARKET OPPORTUNITIES, TRAINING, AND ACCESS TO CULTURALLY RELEVANT RESOURCES. IN 2023, WE PROVIDED INTENSIVE TRAINING TO 8 BIPOC FARM BUSINESSES AND SUPPORTED 36 NEW AND BEGINNING VENDORS THROUGHOUT THE MARKET SEASON. ACROSS 12 MARKET EVENTS, 3,131 ATTENDEES PARTICIPATED, GENERATING $68,766 IN TOTAL SALES, INCLUDING $35,074 FOR FARMERS AND $57,810 FOR NEW VENDORS. THROUGH FISCAL SPONSORSHIP, WE PROVIDED LEGAL, FINANCIAL, AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT TO MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS, COVERING PAYROLL, CONTRACTORS, AND VENDOR PAYMENTS, ENABLING THESE GROUPS TO FOCUS ON THEIR MISSION WHILE LEVERAGING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. ADDITIONALLY, OUR BLACK AND BROWN HERB EXCHANGE DISTRIBUTED $11,888 WORTH OF HERBAL WELLNESS PRODUCTS AND FRESH AND DRIED HERBS TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ENGAGED OVER 200 PARTICIPANTS THROUGH MARKETS, SEED SWAPS, AND ONGOING MONTHLY DISTRIBUTIONS, AND SUPPORTED 5 NEW HERB FARMERS AND EDUCATORS. TOGETHER, THESE INITIATIVES STRENGTHEN BIPOC-LED ENTERPRISES, FOSTER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND PROVIDE MEANINGFUL ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL AND WELLNESS RESOURCES.

    Expenses $769,969 · Grants $647,259

  • BLACK FUTURES FARM (BFF) - BLACK FUTURES FARM IS BOTH A COMMUNITY-BUILDING AND PRODUCTION FARM, WHERE WE GROW MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS ALONGSIDE VEGETABLES, FRUITS, AND HERBS. BFF IS ON 1.15 ACRES WITH 17 DIFFERENT FRUIT TREES, VEGETABLES, FLOWERS, MEDICINAL AND COOKING HERBS IN THE BRENTWOOD-DARLINGTON NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS LOCATED ON UNCEDED CLACKAMAS AND MULTNOMAH FIRST NATIONS TERRITORY. THE MISSION IS TO HEAL THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BLACK PEOPLE AND THE LAND, AND WE ACHIEVE THIS BY CULTIVATING A HEALTHY PLACE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY TO GATHER IN JOY. STARTING IN MAY AND ENDING IN OCTOBER, EVERY SUNDAY IS BLACK SUNDAY, A DAY FOR BLACK-IDENTIFIED FOLKS TO GATHER, CELEBRATE, LEARN, AND GROW TOGETHER.

    Expenses $353,604 · Grants $963

  • FOOD HUB - THE BIPOC CENTRAL KITCHEN BUSINESS MODEL SHRINKS THE FOOTPRINT OF A CONVENIENCE STORE, PACKS IT WITH GOOD FOOD ITEMS, AND SCALES THROUGHOUT URBAN COMMUNITIES. INSTEAD OF ONE CENTRALIZED STORE, WE PLACE MULTIPLE STORES WITHIN A COMMUNITY AND ACROSS A CITY TO INCREASE ORDERING AND DISTRIBUTION EFFICIENCIES AS WELL AS ACCESS WITHIN A TWENTY-MINUTE WALK OF MOST NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEREAS TRADITIONAL GROCERY AND CONVENIENCE STORES ARE PRIMARILY CONSTRAINED IN OFFERING HEALTHY FOOD IN FOOD DESERTS BY HIGH REAL ESTATE COSTS AND INFLEXIBLE DESIGN, BIPOC CENTRAL KITCHEN DIRECTLY ADDRESSES THESE LIMITATIONS. OUR EFFICIENT DESIGN AND PLACEMENT IN BUSINESS PARKING LOTS ENABLE US TO LEVERAGE EFFICIENCIES NOT FOUND IN THE CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM. IN THE BIPOC CENTRAL KITCHEN MODEL, TRANSACTION VOLUME IS ACHIEVED ACROSS MANY SMALL STORES SUPPORTED BY A LARGER, LOCALIZED DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. RATHER THAN LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE TRANSPORTING THEMSELVES TO ONE STORE TO PURCHASE SMALL QUANTITIES OF GROCERIES, WE TRANSPORT LARGE BUNDLES OF GROCERIES TO MULTIPLE STORES, EACH SERVING A SMALL COMMUNITY. THIS PROVIDES THE VOLUME TO ACHIEVE THE LOW COSTS NECESSARY TO CREATE PROFIT AND SCALE OUR BUSINESS. BIPOC CENTRAL KITCHEN IS THE STORE OUR CUSTOMERS CAN DEPEND ON FOR PRODUCE AND WEEKLY STAPLE ITEMS SUCH AS BREAD, DAIRY, FROZEN FOOD, MEAT AND SOME HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS. OUR FOOD WILL BE AFFORDABLE, NUTRITIOUS, MADE FROM INGREDIENTS PEOPLE CAN PRONOUNCE, AND ORGANIC AND LOCAL AS MUCH AS FINANCIALLY POSSIBLE.

    Expenses $77,627

  • OTHER PROGRAMS INCLUDING EDUCATION, BBHX, PARTNERSHIPS, COME THRU MARKET, HQ, CENTRALIA FARM, AND BACK TO THE ROOT CONFERENCE.
