Food Access

The Food Access team at La Colaborativa has collected a substantial amount of data on community members who access its food programs, including pantry visits, home deliveries, El Mercado participation, and mobile produce truck usage. This project aims to transform that sensitive but powerful data into clear, ethical, and compelling data visualizations that communicate who is being served, where services are reaching, and the overall impact of the Food Access program. Through this project, the team will support La Colaborativa in developing data visualizations that can be used for both external audiences (funders, conferences, partners) and internal decision-making. The work will emphasize storytelling, equity, and responsible data use, helping the organization better articulate community needs and program impact while protecting participant privacy.
