City
Greens Produce, a community health project of Catholic Charities Midtown
Center, opened June 16, 2009. In our inaugural season, City Greens Produce
earned more than $11,200, while spending over $9,000 on fresh, local produce
from 27 small Missouri farmers. On average, 60 neighbor-members shopped each
week. City Greens members are invested in the mission to improve community
access to local, quality and affordable fruits, vegetables, and bread. City
Greens will continue to provide eggs, bread and coffee throughout the winter
until the market re-opens in May 2010.
