What We Do:
Through On Common Ground’s three pillars of Education, Improving Community Infrastructure, and Reducing the Burden of Government, OCG is committed to supporting communities at the state and federal levels through their health objectives. OCG wants to help create a thriving environment for those caught in a food desert and break down the barriers that prevent those who may feel stuck in food insecurity.

The Food industry doesn't want you to know this dirty secret:
…90% of chronic disease in the US is directly related to the food we eat, and it’s all completely preventable. Obesity, cancer, diabetes, and other major diseases aren’t just tied to individual choice, but rather are a result of the unequal and unfair design of our national food system.
“Food Deserts” (as labeled by the US Department of Agriculture) are killing America. Low-income communities rarely have access to healthy food, and Low-Hanging Fruit presents a complete solution.
OCG Founder Shannon Dobbs tears apart conventional grocery store models and breaks down why the status quo hurts everyone (except for Big Industry), and then provides a better path forward.
