What We Do
Roots in the Community (R.I.C.’s) Market Foundation is dedicated to addressing food insecurity by opening a unique full-service Nonprofit Grocery Store that provides access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food. We offer education on healthy eating and provide funds and food to cancer patients, homeless children, and low-income communities. Our approach involves partnerships with various sectors to develop healthy individuals holistically. We believe that access to healthy food shouldn't be a luxury!
