The Duluth Center for Women and Children along with Community Action Duluth are working on a food box project.

Every other week, they pack up boxes full of produce and other items that equal four breakfasts and four dinners.

Those are delivered along with the meal kits that the DCWC put together each Monday.

Community Action works with disadvantaged farmers to get the produce.

“When this opportunity to collaborate around specifically local food came up, we jumped at the opportunity. So we’re able to get everything from feta to cabbage and meat and pack it in these tailored meal kits for families across mostly the hillside, but also across Duluth,” explained Kayla Pridmore, the manager for Seeds of Success, through CAD.

It’s a pilot program, funded with a grant from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, and support from the Department of Health, medical school on campus, and Essentia Health.

You can still check out the farmer’s market, which has one more this December at the Harrison Community Center on Wednesday, December 18th, from 3-6pm.
