The Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition (MFFC) is a collaborative organization, bringing together Mattapan residents, organizations and others to work on improving the food and physical activity environments in Mattapan, Massachusetts. MFFC promotes healthy behaviors through its membership, its networks, and its partnerships with other organizations. MFFC provides leadership through community engagement.
Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition (MFFC) was founded in 2006 by a group of Mattapan residents who were concerned about the health of the Mattapan community.
In collaboration with the Boston Collaborative for Food and Fitness and other local organizations, MFFC surveyed community residents, held focus groups, and key informant interviews, and conducted walkability and bike ability audits.
The results of the survey indicated that residents wanted to increase access to healthy food and promote an active living. This set the action plan for MFFC.
