The Healthy Food for Upper Manhattan Workgroup (HFUM) was convened in 2015 by organizations working to improve Upper Manhattan’s food environment. Since that time, our membership has grown to include over 150 individuals representing over 60 organizations. Our constituents include community organizers, city officials, social service organizations, academic institutions, clinical care providers, and others who are committed to improving our local food environment. HFUM convenes quarterly to network, discuss prescient issues in our food system, and collaborate on key projects.
