Kim Foreman on how EHW works with neighbors.
Trust comes first.
Everything else follows.
What builds trust with an organization, in your experience?
The work does not pause at the halfway point.
Healthy homes still need attention. Families still need healthy food options and deserve a voice in decision making. Neighborhoods still need the power to shape what comes next. EHW is carrying the work into the second half of the year with accountability, commitment, and a focus on sustainable outcomes for Cleveland residents.
Stay connected for upcoming programs, community work, and ways to take part.

Kim Foreman on how EHW approaches partnership.
The work in Cleveland happens through many organizations, each doing what they do best. Our role is to keep connecting the pieces.
If you work in Cleveland's neighborhoods, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

What is Fresh Fest?
Fresh Fest began seven years ago with a simple question from Environmental Health Watch and our partners at Rid-All Farm: what if we did a festival?
What started as a gathering of about 2,000 people has grown into a Cleveland tradition more than 17,000 registered in 2025, with nearly 20,000 people moving through the festival all day.
Fresh Fest is free because community belongs to everyone. It brings together local food, arts, culture, entrepreneurship, environmental action, and legendary hip-hop in one place.
This year, we do it again.
Join us Saturday, September 12 for Fresh Fest 2026. See the lineup, register, and plan your visit at freshfestcleveland.com.
Residents should not be invited only after most of the decisions are already made.
People living with the consequences of neighborhood decisions bring knowledge that cannot be replaced by a meeting agenda. Meaningful community engagement begins before plans are set with transparency, accountability, and an informed decision making role for the people most affected.
What does meaningful participation look like in your neighborhood? Share your perspective.

Seven years ago, Environmental Health decided as part of the FreshLo: One Garden Valley initiative, we should do a festival.
It came out of our Healthy Communities work, in partnership with Rid-All Farm, because of the work already being done together. We did it. And now, seven years later, every second Saturday in September, we have Fresh Fest.
As an environmental organization, we build our ways of action right into the festival. Riding bikes, taking the rapid, reducing waste, eating local food.
All of those things are better for the environment, and they are connected to the programming at Fresh Fest.
Merging food, arts, and culture was our opportunity to highlight the work already happening in the community, and the partners already there. We have always been in the community.
Funding from The Kresge Foundation gave us a national platform, and a way to bring together those intersectional pieces: food, arts, culture, history, entrepreneurship.
The name comes from the Fresh Fest concert tours of the '80s. We wanted to recreate that, with classic, legendary hip hop artists and DJs, highlighting local acts and bringing national artists in too. Rakim. Big Daddy Kane. MC Lyte.
We were in an area highly concentrated with public housing, and that is the historical connection to the birth of hip hop. Public housing, place, culture, history. This is placemaking.
It started at about 2,000 people. Now we are close to 20,000 moving through the day, with over 17,000 registered.
This year, we do it again. Join us this September for Fresh Fest. See the lineup, register and plan your visit at freshfestcleveland.com
Community change is not a solo act.
The work holds when people build it together.
From resident-led gardens to regenerative neighborhood investment, collaboration and partnership is part of our DNA and culture at EHW. We work with orgs, institutions and resident leaders who know their communities, see the gaps, and help shape the solutions. Everyone has a role to play because one organization cannot do it all.
Meet the people and partners helping build healthier, stronger neighborhoods.
