The Pleasantville community is a food desert community – Proximity to grocery stores with fresh/healthy food options and inadequate public transportation contribute to this designation.

ACTS PROVIDES COMMUNITY-POWERED SOLUTIONS

ACTS collaboration with staff and scholars at  W.S. Holland Middle School began in 2016 with a small grant from Whole Foods to enlarge the garden capacity. A community grant from Port Houston financially supports the W.S. Holland Middle School project to build a greenhouse for sustainability and resiliency. The learning experience will expose students to the farm to table movement. Students and the community will benefit from the access to healthy food options.
