"Run by Cassandria Campbell in Roxbury, this community-focused food organization contributed to Andrea Campbell’s restaurant recovery plan, with Cassandria stressing that Roxbury and Back Bay are only about 15 minutes apart yet often feel worlds apart. She advocated for using restaurants, permanent outdoor dining, and pedestrianized streets to bridge those divides, and emphasized the industry’s potential to address food insecurity, create local economic opportunity, and connect disconnected neighborhoods as the city pursues a more equitable post-pandemic recovery." - Terrence Doyle
