Mandela Partners
Mandela Partners uses food to empower communities of color and communities of limited means to build health, wealth, well-being, and economic opportunities in their own neighborhoods. Founded in West Oakland, CA in 2004, our work responds directly to the longstanding inequities our communities face – an extractive food system that withholds access to fresh foods, a racist legacy of redlining and economic disinvestment, and exclusion from long-term wealth-building opportunities.
