The document proposes establishing a food hub in Charlotte, North Carolina that would provide balanced nutrition, a safe space, and community engagement through acquiring and distributing healthy food products. It would partner with food distributors and brokers to purchase discounted surplus products. The food hub aims to inspire families to cook, connect, and nourish themselves. It would serve residents of food deserts, small nonprofits, commercial kitchen users, and budget-conscious families. Similar models have been successful elsewhere and the food hub could support other local initiatives by addressing food insecurity and health issues.
