Abstract: Through creating avenues for authentic civic engagement of individuals living in vulnerable communities, the Food & Fitness community partnerships have actualized innovative ways to change the trajectory of health outcomes in neighborhoods across the United States. Working to increase the availability of healthy, locally grown food and opportunities for physical activity in communities that have suffered from years of disinvestment, the partnerships have moved toward and beyond merely bridging the equity gap.
