Marisa Kingsbury, a student interning with UMD’s Land Lab, is organizing a food plant give-away in Duluth's Morgan Park neighborhood this weekend.
It takes place this Saturday, June 26 from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. (while supplies last) at the Good Fellowship Community Center, 1242 88th Ave West.
“The city of Duluth is a very wide city with many neighborhoods experiencing food deserts, areas where there is a lack of food access and food security due to a variety of underlying issues,” explains Kingsbury, a junior majoring in environment and sustainability. “Morgan Park is one of many neighborhoods that experience this issue, and by providing free local produce from the UMD Land Lab we are able to begin to combat this issue by building a sense of community through food.”
