Today, March 7, was the soft opening of the new Central Community Co-op. Started as a class research project by Tri-C (Cuyahoga Community College) students, the new Co-op will provide local residents with fresh fruits and vegetables from Tri-C’s recreation Center. They will also provide access to free nutritional education classes.
This all started because Tri-C decided to offer a “Special Topics” class focused on nutrition. The class research assignment got the students thinking about ‘food deserts’ and the lack of good nutritional options in the area.
The project is starting out small, but they plan to expand over the coming months. I am sure as word spreads, this program will become more and more popular!
Cleveland is so cool.
