About
The Fresh Life Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit that does exciting work uplifting the health, well-being and economic advancement of our West Oakland community. We work in partnership with the Community Foods Market which is a community-based, mission-driven food market, cafe & social space called the Front Porch located in the San Pablo Corridor.
We sponsor a variety of charitable events that are essential in advancing the goals of the Community Foods Market. The collaboration and synergy between the two organizations form a comprehensive approach to creating greater empowerment and inclusive change at the community level supporting healthy living.
