Mission
Support for the community
The Woodlawn Food Security Health & Human Services Project dba The Woodlawn Project was established in 2021. The Woodlawn Project is organized for charitable food security, nutritional education, and dissemination of information regarding where to find available resources for healthcare, and other human services.
The Woodlawn Project established the Woodlawn Community Food Pantry as a source of nutritional assistance in the Woodlawn Area to reduce stress in the community regarding the availability of food to families, children, and senior citizens. We focus on distributing healthier food options to our community’s clients with fresh produce, healthy proteins such as meats, fish, and poultry along with low sodium and low sugar canned goods. We provide nutritional education materials and demonstrations on how to prepare a nutritionally balanced meal. Nutritional education along with healthier diets will result in reduced incidents of diabetes, hypertension, and kidney disease in the communities we serve.
