Nourishing a City

In Tulsa, over 45% of the population live in low food access areas, and 17% live in food deserts. That’s where Anita Mills comes in. 

Anita originally worked with the food industry, including building community gardens and helping local farmers of the Dallas area. In 2018 she moved to Tulsa and heard of the city’s hardship, especially the areas where grocery stores were almost non-existent. 

Now focusing on the Tulsa area, Anita has devoted her time to help those that don’t have the resources to help themselves by helping the community gain access to SNAP programs, building local communities, and working with Hunger Free Oklahoma and Tulsa Food Security Group to help the residents of Tusla and the state at large.

Anita shares how she became aware of the food deserts in her community and how she continues to dedicate herself to making a difference.
