Tawana, a resident of Woodhill Estates, works out every day. She makes an effort to provide her grandchildren with nutritious options but finds it challenging because there aren’t many healthy options in the nearby businesses. She does make use of the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) mobile pantry, which brings fruits and vegetables to Woodhill Estates once a month. But that’s just one day. When you’re fighting to pay for your daily expenditures and get through the week, she says, it’s difficult to grab a bus to get to the closest grocery store – Simon’s Supermarket on Buckeye Road, over a mile away.

Dave's up on lakeshore closed a couple years ago and I can't even think of another good store close by. I wish we had more smaller grocers scattered around that sell fruit and veggies and other staples instead of fried chips and corn syrup lottery tickets.
