Ep. 12 - The Greater HP Food Alliance & Growing High Point
Mini Series: All-America City
From #1 in the nation for food insecurity to now operating a multi-functional food alliance to meet food insecurity needs, High Point has shown the world that we solve problems in our community collectively. The Greater High Point Food Alliance, a backbone organization that ensures that everyone is on the same page in High Point when it comes to alleviating hunger, is the epitome of democratic process. They brought in people from all over the city to innovate how we could transform our city when it comes to food and hunger. We sat down with former GHPFA Executive Director Carl Vierling, as well as Founder of Growing High Point, Councilman Patrick Harman, to learn how community voices came together to transform our city.
While this is our last episode of High Point’s Voices Discovered Season 1, we are excited to announce that new things are coming for this podcast, so stay tuned, stay subscribed, and we’ll see you soon!

ABOUT THE ALL-AMERICA CITY AWARD:
In 2024, the City of High Point received the designation of an All-America City by the National Civic League – an honor bestowed on only 10 cities nationally each year! This honor came because High Point proved that our city demonstrates transformative, community-driven efforts to strengthen democracy through local action and innovation. Through initiatives like the City of High Point rebrand, Thrive (the minority entrepreneur initiative of Business High Point) and the Greater High Point Food Alliance, our team demonstrated to the nation that High Point is a place where community voices matter.
