Environmental Justice


1. Equitable Food Access

We combat food insecurity by addressing food deserts and creating sustainable solutions such as urban agriculture, mobile food distribution, and education on nutrition. Our goal is to ensure every family has access to fresh, affordable, and nutritious food regardless of their zip code.

2. Climate Resilience

Bethel Cares advocates for solutions that protect our most vulnerable communities from the impacts of climate change. From green infrastructure projects to urban heat island mitigation, we focus on building neighborhoods that can adapt and thrive in the face of environmental challenges.

3. Healthy Homes and Communities

We work to improve housing conditions by addressing environmental hazards such as mold, lead, and poor air quality. By providing resources and education, we empower families to create safe and healthy living spaces.

4. Community Empowerment through Education

Bethel Cares believes in equipping residents with the tools and knowledge to advocate for environmental justice. Through workshops, training programs, and youth engagement, we create a foundation for long-term community leadership and stewardship.

5. Advocacy for Environmental Justice Policies

We champion policy changes that address systemic inequities in environmental protection and resource allocation. By collaborating with government agencies and local leaders, we ensure that the voices of underserved communities are heard and represented.
