ABOUT GLOBAL TO LOCAL:
It has been a challenging year for Global to Local due to a lack of sustainable and consistent funding combined with continued rising costs.
Because of the financial situation, our Board of Directors has decided that the most responsible path is to close down Global to Local. This includes closing our offices and Spice Bridge, and ending all operations including Food Innovation Network, the Food Business Incubator program at Spice Bridge, our Community Health Worker program, and our Healthy Communities program.
We are doing all we can to support our community, clients and staff. Our top priority will continue to be upholding equity, kindness, and transparency as we go through this transition.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
