Food Resources

Background

This is a project of Code for UV in partnership with Little Rivers Health Care.

Code for UV is a Code for America Brigade based in the Upper Valley region of New Hampshire and Vermont.The Upper Valley is a rural area, and many families live in a food desert, meaning they are 10 miles or more away from food, especially fresh produce. Our app aims to support Little Rivers' goal of increasing food access for residents of this region by producing an online guide to local food resources that is up-to-date, searchable, mobile-friendly, and offline-accessible.
