Here in Mattapan, we face significant health challenges. Our founder, Vivien Morris, created MFFC as a grassroots organization to provide solutions for the community, by the community. Speaking to Mattapan residents, MFFC identified 5 core issues that we seek to resolve: environmental inequities, lack of healthy food access, lack of youth engagement opportunities, feeling unheard, and limited physical activity opportunities. We created 5 focus areas to address each issue and bring solutions to Mattapan that residents have advocated for. So, what does it look like when a community leads? It looks like MFFC. It looks like family.
