Food security

This month, households that receive government benefits to help pay for groceries will see their food budgets decrease by at least $95 per person.

"We want this for people especially with the food prices raising," said General Manager Kinya Middleton. "This will definitely stretch someone’s budget."

“Sometimes people are more ready to hear about different services, or they hear about it, it doesn’t work out the first time, but at least they know it’s out there.”

Around the end of March last year, CHOW served 140 households a week. At the end of May this year, 10 to 15 households received deliveries.

“Transportation’s a huge problem for them to get here. The winter’s been harder.”

"The opening of Greater Good Grocery ends a 25-year void that left thousands of North Side residents struggling to access healthy, affordable food for their families."

There's also home-delivery where food pantries have closed.
