Mission Statement
Your Store of the Queen City empowers neighborhood-based entities to expand fresh food access and create community-based jobs by supporting the development and networking of resident-centered, culturally and economically inclusive enterprises in food desert areas of Cincinnati, OH.
About This Cause
From a community asset-based planning and design period, to the launch, operation, and path to sustainability, Your Store of the Queen City initiatives foster trustworthy, hyper-local, human-centered economic development with a vision for long-term resident wellbeing. Your Store of the Queen City runs 3 main programs: 1. Our flagship food social enterprise location called Meiser's Fresh Grocery & Deli opened at the end of 2021. It is designed, fit out, and operated by community members to end the food desert with fresh, walkable and affordable options in Cincinnati, Ohio neighborhood of Lower Price Hill. 2. Green Giveaways provides free food support programming for vulnerable residents, acting as a bridge in which neighbors help neighbors with emergency food access and referrals to local pantries/benefits support; as well as free fruits and vegetable programs designed to stretch budgets and improve health outcomes. 3. Your Store Food Futures supporting the development of future sustainable community partners' food access interventions by facilitating scientific data-based community advocacy and organizing with quality improvement methodology.
