Share On Social!

A church in Kansas City, Missouri has created their own grocery store to help bring healthy, fresh food into an area of need.

Harvest Learning Center (HLC) is a non-profit grocery store built alongside the World Harvest Ministries church in Kansas City’s Ivanhoe neighborhood. HLC is run by Pastor Terry Glenn, and is partnered with Good Natured Family Farms, Hen House, Buy Fresh Buy Local, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Food & Community Program. The store sells locally grown produce and other healthy foods items and lower rates than most people can find in a regular grocery store. Even better, HLC matches SNAP and food program benefits, ensuring that all families get access to these healthy foods. The church hopes to start cooking classes to help families learn how to prepare easy, healthy meals for their families.
