The Avondale/Glen Elder Community Food Assessment 2004: Food Security in a South Sacramento Neighborhood
The Hunger Commission pursued this assessment as one step toward improving food security in the Avondale/Glen Elder neighborhood. Nearly 45% of the neighborhood's residents are Southeast Asian, almost 25% are Latino, and over 20% are African American. From January thru May 2004, a wide variety of research was conducted, analyzed, and compiled into a report. This assessment of food access and food security included an evaluation of all food resources available to residents, and surveyed residents to determine their difficulties and opinions regarding food access in the community. Research methods included focus groups, a community survey, and a school survey.

Sacramento Hunger Commission, Breaking Barriers 2000
The Sacramento City/County Hunger Commission implemented a pilot Expanded Food Access Project to study food access needs for residents of Del Paso Heights and North Sacramento. This assessment systematically examined access to nutritious, affordable food in communities impacted by hunger. The goal was to increase the awareness of possible barriers to food security and to facilitate improved access to nutritious food.
