To reduce food insecurity and improve nutrition in rural Alger County, this project will create three community food hubs, expand school garden programs, and connect residents with fresh produce from local farmers and gardeners. It will engage the community through workshops and volunteer opportunities, increase fruit and vegetable consumption, and use season-extending strategies like hoop houses to support year-round access to healthy food.
