“When they [Healthy Corner Store Initiative coalition members, Councilmen Wyatt] came to us and asked if we would provide more fruits and vegetables, we were open to this idea and wanted this to succeed so we could help the neighborhood. Many people in the neighborhood don’t have cars to go supermarkets outside of the community. So, we are trying to bring as much produce as we can into this store.”

To give everyone the option, instead of that snack, there’s a fruit, a healthy alternative. I appreciate the support that we get from the Healthy Corner Store Initiative and those that contribute. It’s great to see so many people and groups come together, with one hand. To work on this is great.”
