Meet Brittney Drakeford from The Capital Market of 20743, a community-led organization in Prince George’s County, MD that centers food systems and leverages cultural capital to revitalize communities. Drakeford co-founded the organization in 2018 after residents felt the loss of food access when the local grocery store closed.

With support from LISC and Kaiser Permanente, The Capital Market has built its capacity to make an impact by strengthening its board and developing program plans through strategic visioning and planning. Now seen as a trusted conduit for healthy food access, The Capital Market has hosted more than 150 community events, 130 farmers’ markets and food activations, and healthy food walk audits to teach residents how to shape their own food systems.
