Detroit People's Food Co-op has officially opened in #Detroit's North End.

The co-op started welcoming shoppers May 1 and will host a grand opening May 18.

During the #COVID-19 pandemic, a number of stores closed temporarily, a handful of restaurants became small grocers, and organizations distributed supplies via emergency food boxes.

43% of Detroit residents say there were times in the past year when they didn’t have enough money to buy food for themselves or their families, compared to 18% of suburban residents, according to Gallup survey.
