What could a Food Co-op be in West Louisville? Let us Know!

f

Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. We want this for EVERYONE!

Historically, co-ops have provided fresh and healthy food in areas where grocery stores cannot survive. today, the discussion about a co-op in Russell has surfaced, and we want to explore the community's willingness and capacity to support a co-op in Russell or West Louisville at large.

 How does it work?

Church and community members contribute money into a pool. With this communal fund, food (meat/dairy/eggs/fresh produce) can be purchased at a wholesale rate. This food is then made available for those who participated. The co-op would being to address the lack of accessible healthy food in Russell.

A group of University of North Carolina students are studying food access in West Louisville and will be making recommendations to Louisville Forward.

How can you help, you ask?

Thank you!
