The Share the Plate recipient for August is Bonton Farms. Bonton Farms mission is to transform lives by disrupting systems of inequity, laying a foundation where change yields health, wholeness and opportunity as the norm. Their vision is that the change in Bonton becomes the change in the world.  Bonton is a neighborhood in Dallas where for the last 200 years, racial injustice and systemic oppression prevented opportunities that were a given elsewhere. The people here experienced higher rates of diabetes, stroke, and cancer. What started as a farm has grown into an organization addressing nutrition, housing stability, career mentorship, and education. They are working hand-in-hand with the people in Bonton, where many have experienced incarceration, to break the cycle of poverty by sharing optimism, Hope, and opportunities for self-improvement.
