The People’s Mart
With this grant, Flint Social Club will install critical infrastructure in "The People’s Mart," a community-powered food hub that will create markets, storage capacity, and processing infrastructure for small- and mid-sized Michigan growers, food processors, and emerging food entrepreneurs, especially those from BIPOC, immigrant, and low-income communities. The Food Hub also will help urban consumers in Flint – particularly in historically redlined and food-insecure neighborhoods – access affordable, healthy, and culturally appropriate food.
