Dallas Store Owner’s Push for Healthy Foods
The lack of quality grocery stores continues to be a huge problem for the residents of South Dallas.
Millions of American families do their shopping at local corner stores, where it’s often a struggle to find healthy food options and easy to find processed items high in sugar, fat, and salt. But healthy corner store initiatives can make the healthy choice, the easy choice, by stocking corner stores’ shelves with healthy foods.
Join the effort to transform local corner stores in your community into places where everyone, especially children, can access the foods that help them stay healthy and strong.
