By providing access to healthy food, The Food Pantries for the Capital district are taking on a venture to collaborate with community-based food providers as well as healthcare organisations. The initiative aims to improve the health of the communities that are trying to combat chronic health conditions, such as Diabetes Type 2, high/low blood pressure, obesity, and nerve damage.
