Rashe Malcolm is a dedicated community leader and entrepreneur, passionate about making healthy food accessible to all. As founder of Farm to Neighborhood (F2N), she has built strong networks with local and minority farmers to provide fresh produce and nutrition-based programs for low-income families, adults, and seniors in Athens-Clarke County. In the past year alone, F2N distributed over 5,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables and launched the HEALTHYouth program, empowering youth through gardening, cooking, and mental health education.
Beyond F2N, Rashe co-founded Rashe’s Cuisine, a beloved Jamaican restaurant, and later established the Culinary Kitchen of Athens (CKA), a shared space for local food vendors. With support from a COVID-recovery grant, she expanded F2N to include USDA-approved mobile meals, bringing fresh, locally sourced food to underserved areas year-round.
Her leadership and vision have earned community-wide recognition, including a 2021 Nonprofit of the Year award nomination. Through her efforts, Rashe continues to build an equitable food system and inspire long-lasting, positive change.
