Garden Mural Unveiling at Food Strong's Care-A-Van

Food Strong’s Care-A-Van is a community wellness and food access event series designed to meet neighbors where they are with fresh food, health resources, education, and connection. At each Care-A-Van, Food Strong and our partners share FREE fresh produce, wellness information, community resources, health screenings, cooking education, family-friendly activities, and opportunities for neighbors to learn, gather, and build relationships. These events are rooted in the belief that food access, health, art, education, and community care are deeply connected.

On July 28, Food Strong will host Care-A-Van at Superior Farm, our emerging food sovereignty campus in Cleveland’s St. Clair–Superior neighborhood, for an afternoon rooted in nourishment, creativity, and place-based pride. This special event will feature the unveiling of Food Strong’s new garden mural, painted on the back of the garage at Superior Farm. Funded by Cuyahoga Arts & Culture and led by muralist Josh Maxwell, the mural depicts local, edible foods found around the farm and was created through a collaborative process that engaged students, volunteers, and neighborhood residents. The mural reflects the spirit of Superior Farm as a living classroom, community gathering space, and growing hub for food justice, where art, agriculture, education, and community care come together.
