WILMINGTON It’s a conversation that has been going on for quite a while now: When is an affordable grocery store coming downtown?
Local community members and organizations have banded together to bring the Northside Food Co-op one step closer to reality.
On Monday, Dec. 21, a pop-up lunch will be hosted by the Northside Food Co-op, along with organizations Feast Down East, Nourish NC, Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC, LINC Inc, Wilmington Compost Company, Willowdale Urban Farm and Catch Restaurant. Chef Keith Rhodes of Catch will serve homemade vegan jambalaya and bread for free.
