First week at Fresh Corner Cafe = check!<\/p>\n
So far, I have been enjoying my summer placement at Fresh Corner Cafe in Detroit. This organization is a social entrepreneurship committed to making sure their business is positively impacting the community. Through their Pop-Ups and Markets, they are able to sell produce and healthy meals to members of the Detroit\/Metro-Detroit area, which in turns increases the access of healthy foods for people in their communities. The organization is built on “meeting people where they’re at”, the idea that we increase the amount of healthy options in the community by “meeting” people where they go the most and are most accessible to them, whether it be right after school when children are getting picked up, an elderly home that has limited access to a grocery store, or a gas station near their home.<\/p>\n
Our summer project is focused on planning and executing the Markets and Pop-Ups, as well as evaluating them through surveying and strategizing steps to grow. Therefore, my project is very community-based, so I’ll be serving in the community to hear their needs and try to implement things along the way to make sure they are met. One of the things I am excited about exploring is holding community activities like cooking demonstrations, doing workout videos, or compiling a community cookbook!:) I hope to help identify other communities around the city that can benefit from working with Fresh Corner Cafe and where the Markets and Pop-Ups can be held. I am also interested in picking the brains of my supervisors and understanding everything on an organizational level. I’ve been enjoying living in Midtown and my placement allows me to move frequently around the Detroit\/metro-Detroit area, but I would like to explore other parts of the city more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
