Bayshore Community Food Assessment (2020)


Project Overview

This community food assessment produced five key findings and recommendations for improving food access and food security in Daly City’s Bayshore neighborhood.

To describe the neighborhood food environment and capture residents’ experience obtaining food and their priorities for neighborhood food access, our team conducted interviews with residents and community organizations and evaluated the availability and affordability of healthy food options at nearby stores.


Goals of this Report

1.

Understand how the Bayshore neighborhood’s current residents access food.

2.

Identify opportunities to improve food access and food security as the neighborhood undergoes a major growth phase.


Key Takeaways

Most residents purchase groceries outside the Bayshore.

Recommendation: Explore options for a new grocery store or food cooperative.

For those without private cars, public transportation is key for food access.

Recommendation: Maintain current transit routes, which are crucial for food access. Consider adding additional transit routes, stops, and more frequent service.

Residents would like additional food options that empower youth and are community designed.

With community members, explore options for establishing a farmers’ market or community garden.
