Eastern Market

In Detroit the lack of healthy food retailing makes it difficult for families to make wise food choices.

Detroit has skyrocketing rates of diet related diseases such as hypertension, early on-set and type II diabetes.

Eastern Market's collaboration with the Detroit Lions will leverage the bounty of regional agriculture to build a healthier Detroit by improving access to fresh fruits and vegetables in underserved areas.

The goal is to improve food systems by engaging local leaders in communities and schools, parents and other stakeholders to deliver healthier foods to children.

Eastern Market is the key companion in this effort as the center for fresh and nutritious food in Detroit.
