Detroit sits on some of the highest rates of diet-related illness in the country. 69% of Detroit households experience food insecurity. 32% of us live a mile or more from a full-service grocery store. And nationally, food insecurity hits up to 2 out of 3 Black residents in some counties, compared to 1 out of 3 white residents.

Those lines were drawn a long time ago. Redlining played a part in which blocks got investment, and 80 years later you can still see it in what’s on the shelf.

Here’s what most people don’t connect. Food isn’t only fuel. Neurotransmitters, gut hormones, and the gut microbiome are directly shaped by what you eat. Nutrient-dense diets track with lower rates of depression and anxiety, while diets heavy in refined sugar and saturated fat predict greater psychological distress. Meals loaded with refined sugar and poor fats can reduce cognitive flexibility and raise impulsivity soon after eating.

Steadier mood means steadier thinking. Steadier thinking means better decisions, including the money ones. You cannot build generational wealth on a body running on empty.

That’s why we started The Coalition. Not another program telling people what to eat. A living example, on real ground, that youth and adults can walk into and see working.

Reflecting on our Open House at the Forigin Neighborhood Coalition.

Staring in 2024 with nothing but vegetation, an empty lot, an idea, and a neighborhood that was ready to build.

To every volunteer who showed up — thank you. Rain and all, you came out. It was great having you all, and we were glad to show you our appreciation. This couldn’t have happened without you.

Thank you to our partners for coming out and standing with us: the Detroit Land Bank Authority @buildingdet , The Loving Closet @thelovingclosetmi , and the Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan @mippadvocates .

To the community of Puritan Ave, Pilgrim Village, and Detroit overall: thank you for showing up to a space that was built for you and led by you. Thank you for the support. Thank you for being part of the journey.

We’re far from over. We have events coming this October and November, and a full slate of activations planned for 2027.

Be on the look out and see you all soon 💙💛
