Metro Caring is here for the community. With their Fresh Foods market and various community programs, they meet people's immediate food needs while addressing the root cause of hunger: poverty. They provide nutritious groceries to neighbors and also offer comprehensive anti-hunger resources, so families can break the cycle of poverty.
In our current day and age, this is a vital and important thing to address. Our friends at Metro Caring do this just about better than anyone else—that's why we’ve written this spotlight article to go over some of the incredible things they do!
Metro Caring’s Fresh Foods market is at the heart of their foundation. At no cost, shoppers can come and choose from a plethora of nutritious foods based on their dietary needs and preferences. They’ll leave with a week's supply of groceries, including fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and lean protein!
This allows people to get all the nutrients they need without breaking the bank at the grocery store. They can come and browse the many aisles of healthy food with a peace of mind—this is just one of the many examples of great things Metro Caring does for the community.
Knowing what to do with your food can shape your very idea of food itself. A wall of vegetables can be an intimidating sight if you don’t often cook. However, if you learn what to do with the produce, it becomes a wall of opportunity. Enter Metro Caring’s nutrition and cooking classes.
These classes help people learn the ins and outs of various cooking methods with the goal of helping them expand their cooking ability to include more nutritious and healthy options. The professionals at Metro Caring know there’s nothing better than a home-cooked, healthy meal!
Why not get the ingredients for home-cooked meals straight from the earth? As Metro Caring says on their website, “We believe that healthy food is a right—not a privilege.” Having community gardens furthers this idea by allowing community members to put what they eat into their own hands or gardens.
If any of these ideals interest you and you wish to help further the wonderful cause of Metro Caring, you can volunteer or donate to help keep their foundation going strong!
