As reported by Sault Ste. Marie News, the Chippewa Luce Mackinac Community Action Agency (CLMCAA) is among the first grant recipients of the new Good Food for Michigan Project, which is focused on bringing more locally grown food to schools, hospitals and other institutions.
“This investment from the Good Food for Michigan Project will help us accomplish a long-term goal: provide more fresh, nutritious food to our local seniors,” said Marcey Thorne, senior services director at CLMCAA, in the announcement. “Our team often receives perishable items, including lettuce and milk, that are either expired or just a few days from expiring. With support from this new MDARD program, we’ll be able to access our local grower network to source more food used in meals for seniors in our community.”
