Greening Food Deserts

Greening Food Deserts

July 20, 2011

PHLP joined First Lady Michelle Obama and Partnership for a Healthier America for an important announcement about the committment of national grocery retailers to expand into areas where healthy, affordable access to food is not available. It's exciting to see big chains coming on board to help green food deserts, and we welcome them to the movement! We have many resources to help communities bring healthy food retail to underserved neighborhoods, such as Getting to Grocery, Funding Sources for Healthy Food Retail, and Healthy Corner Stores: The State of the Movement.
