An oasis in a food desert

---

For many Americans, poverty is not the only issue complicating their ability to obtain sufficient healthful, nutritious food. Where they live in relation to well-supplied grocery stores can be a major issue, especially if they don’t have a car or if public transportation isn’t readily available. These factors conspire to create “food deserts,” where people are unable to eat healthfully. Churches are helping! Can yours do more?
