On its surface, Riverside Collective offers fresh, nourishing foods and an inclusive gathering space in a South Jackson neighborhood that currently offers neither. At a deeper level, it’s an education program, economic engine, and sustainable land retention strategy that centers community control, dignity of labor, and environmental justice. Riverside’s model engenders local ownership and charts a path towards sustainable growth by and for the community.
To ensure the Riverside Collective encompasses its surrounding communities, our approach relies on in-person outreach and relationship-building. We practice active involvement with the people we most directly serve. Riverside is a proud member of The Tired People’s Campaign, the Own Your Story Campaign, and works closely with young people in Jackson Public Schools.
