The Healthy Waterville Action Team (HWAT) is an initiative of Healthy Northern Kennebec focused on engaging the community around increasing access to healthy food. The Action Team is made up of community members and partner organizations. This grassroots approach to community organizing for systemic change is grounded in leading from within, leading together, leading for equity, and leading for outcomes.
The food access barriers our group is putting time and effort into are Wasted Food Recovery & Community Composting, Transportation, Community Meals, Grow Your Own Food, and Youth Engagement.
