“We want to build a better network of all of the great things that are bubbling up around our community,” Joy said of the local grants that will bolster and coordinate existing efforts.
“People are really beginning to care about healthy foods but we have not had any organized way to provide access and education.”
One of the longstanding issues in the downtown and urban neighborhoods of the city of Muskegon is access to a grocery store that provides fresh fruits and vegetables on a year-round basis.
Urban consumers can use the Muskegon Farmer’s Market but that is limited in the number of days it opens during the spring, summer and fall months.
