About the Project:

To better understand the role of participation in food relief and rescue we ask, Can a food rescue organization support stakeholder empowerment through participation in food security and decision-making, and if so, how? To answer this question, I will engage in a community-based research case study with Boulder Food Rescue (BFR), a local food relief organization in Boulder, Colorado. In answering this question, our aim is to understand community participation in this urban food security context, and to identify practices that may support future food relief decision-making efforts
