Clean Energy Supporting Local Food Systems For Communities In Need.
In partnership with USDA and RFI, TNF’s Halo Food Project (HFP) "EV Full Retail Mobile Grocery Store" stewards a necessary and pivotal food system of clean energy retail mobile grocery that provides high quality healthy foods for retail with SNAP and EBT accessibility thanks to the HFFI Initiative, RFI and USDA.
The community stores will benefit very low-income, low-income, underserved, underrepresented, disadvantaged and BIPOC communities of LA and South LA, giving 1.3 million LA residents an immediate food access and food security action plan.
