“East point is the first city in metro Atlanta to develop a city agriculture plan!”

Those words echoed through the room at the ArtsXchange in East Point as Kim Karris, executive director of Food Well Alliance, made the announcement.

More than 50 people gathered Wednesday to kick off phase one of the program.

The creation of Food Well Alliance was made possible through funding from the founding benefactor, the James M. Cox Foundation, and through the vision of Jim Kennedy, chair of Cox Enterprises, and Bill Bolling, founder of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Together, they saw an opportunity to build healthier communities across metro Atlanta by supporting and connecting members of our local food movement. Today, we support more than 300 community gardens, urban farms and orchards in the Atlanta region.
