Food Justice Initiative

Cleo’s Bodega, now established in the North West Area (NWA) of Indianapolis, serves as a vital food access hub for the community. Situated in the largest food desert in Indianapolis, this project addresses food security and functions as a Workforce Development initiative. We offer produce from Flanner House’s Brandywine Creek Farms organic farming initiatives and provide a retail outlet for other urban farmers in the Northwest Community.
