Surveys found most people know what food insecurity is and believe local businesses and Richmond should help raise awareness. Interviews revealed some businesses were unfamiliar with food insecurity but interested in learning more. Content analysis explored media coverage of food insecurity. Recommendations include continuing outreach to businesses, starting by partnering with one like Urban Farmhouse, to help more local organizations get involved in supporting RamPantry.

Breaking down walls and building participationNFCACoops
For more than 170 years, food co-ops have worked to achieve the ideals of democracy, empowerment and inclusion—ideals we continue to strive toward today. How can co-ops continue to work to ensure our doors are open to all people, "without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination," in keeping with the 7 Cooperative Principles? This starts by identifying who we’re excluding and then taking action to be more welcoming, recognizing that we are better—and more successful and relevant—when we are more inclusive, when we lift one another up, and when we work together to remove barriers to participation. Join us to explore how the Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NCFA) is working with its 35 member food co-ops, startups and partners across New England to address this question through our Food Co-ops & Healthy Food Access work.
During this interactive workshop, IMPACT participants will learn how NCFA’s structure as a federation of food co-ops is supporting innovation and learning among member food co-ops about sourcing, healthy food access, economic inclusion and peer collaboration. Participants will learn techniques and tools to evaluate and improve programs to engage and better serve low-income and marginalized community members and expand co-op membership and participation. You’ll leave with the tools necessary to help differentiate your co-ops in the marketplace and use community feedback to improve your co-op’s image and relevance—particularly among people who don’t see themselves reflected at your store.
Presenters: Erbin Crowell, Executive Director, Neighboring Food Co-op Association & Bonnie Hudspeth, Member Programs Manager, Neighboring Food Co-op Association

insecurity” and whether they have personally experienced or know someone who has experienced it.

9. Interview Cont.
What is Food Insecurity?
Interviewee one’s response (Harrison St.):
“Just being able to eat safely and food that isn’t going to cause illness. I’m assuming. I’ve never
heard that term before.”
Interviewee two’s response (UFM):
“Food insecurity, as far as we view it, are people who don’t have steady access to food they need to
survive.”
10. Interview Cont.
Motivation to be involved with RamPantry
Interviewee one’s response (Harrison St.):
“I don’t know. That’s something I would have to think about if the offer came.”
Interviewee two’s response (UFM):
“Particularly for us we just opened our newest location right by the VCU campus and we’re working
hard to become a part of the VCU community and this would be a great outreach program for us to get
involved with in that area.”
11. Content Analysis
● Focusing on a total of 4,052 articles, we sampled 36
● With specific searches involving food insecurity, using
Excel we coded these articles based on Events
Mentioned, Business Type and Partnership Mentioned
13. Recommendations
-From our findings:
- We found that almost everyone we met and spoke with agrees that local Richmond
businesses should be involved with raising awareness and treating food insecurity.
-Therefore we believe this is the time for Ram Pantry to continue reaching out,
and getting their message out there.
-We found that is most important that Ram Pantry -- can get one or two local
businesses/restaurants to be involved, then hoping to trigger others in our
area to join Ram Pantry as well.
14. Recommendations Continued
-Again we highly recommend that it would be to Ram Pantry’s best interest to
reach out to one specific local business and get them on board.
- Our team recommends reaching out to Urban Farmhouse. We believe that
they would be a great help to Ram Pantry, and almost act as a leader in the
external organizations.
-Overall, based on all our research and findings, we believe that Ram Pantry’s
external outreach is very important, and now is the time to get just one local
business part of their team, and from there it can increase the Richmond area’
s involvement.
