Good 2 Go NOLA

The New Orleans Healthy Corner Store Collaborative works alongside New Orleans corner store operators to maximize their business sustainability and increase the amount of fresh, healthy food they offer in-store. Hosted by Propeller, funded by the City of New Orleans, and operated by Liberty’s Kitchen and Top Box Foods, the Healthy Corner Store Collaborative is modeled after current, successful healthy corner store projects around the country, including the Urban Food Project in Birmingham, AL, the Food Trust in Philadelphia, PA, and DC Central Kitchen in Washington, DC. Propeller is a New Orleans-based 501c3 nonprofit that grows and supports entrepreneurs to tackle social and environmental disparities. Our strategy is to build a critical mass of small business in nonprofits working towards more equitable outcomes in food, water, health, and education.
