StarkFresh

StarkFresh is a small but mighty 501(c)3 nonprofit located in Canton, Ohio and servicing Stark County, Ohio. Our mission is to tackle the causes of hunger by creating realistic pathways out of poverty. We envision a Stark County where a culture of healthy eating creates people who are healthier as well as communities that are rejuvenated and empowered. We are connecting growers, consumers, and producers to help create a food system that focuses on making locally-sourced, nutrient-dense, and affordable foods available to everyone in Stark County. We support learning and teaching opportunities that promote the growth, use, and sale of local foods and assist in the growth of urban agricultural employment.

$30,928.66 is for the purchase and hookup of walk-in coolers, freezers, and outside dry grocery storage as well as the retail refrigeration and freezer units inside of the store.

$20,782.34 is for construction costs to finish the store.

$4000 is for the initial inventory to fill the store and $3,190.04 will be used for purchases of consumables and things like uniforms for the employees.

An additional $11,267 will be used to cover a month's deficit until sales are enough to cover expenses.
