True food access creates a food system that supports community resiliency. People in many East St. Louis neighborhoods must travel \u2014 if they can \u2014 to other communities for healthy food, a basic and essential need.<\/p><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\">JJK FAN equips young people with life skills and careers so they can thrive. We are equally committed to improving food access and economic vitality so our youth can play an active role in shaping the future of our food systems.<\/p><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\">Through the JJK FAN collaboration, Lansdowne UP builds and maintains our growing spaces. They operate over 30 raised beds \u2014 plus an active greenhouse that features future-focused aquaponic and hydroponic systems \u2014 where students learn to grow and harvest fresh fruits and vegetables.<\/p><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\">JJK FAN proudly delivers its bounty to local food pantries and shares food with the surrounding community. All year, 11- to 13-year-old students grow their entrepreneurship skills at their market for families and staff. Working with Illinois Extension experts, students gain skills in sales, money management, communication and leadership.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04adbd8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"04adbd8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2075c2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e2075c2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba93076 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ba93076\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c118083 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c118083\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"176\" src=\"https:\/\/jjkfan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Group-1753-1024x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2290\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jjkfan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Group-1753-1024x225.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jjkfan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Group-1753-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jjkfan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Group-1753-768x169.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jjkfan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Group-1753-1536x338.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jjkfan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Group-1753.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab165c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ab165c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?hosted_button_id=3ACCY56WFRCC2\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Support JJK FAN <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOOD ACCESS Food access is more than putting food on the table.
