USDA Deputy Secretary Merrigan's Visit to Faith-Based Community in Kansas City, 2009

In 2009, USDA Deputy Secretary Merrigan visited the Harvest Learning Center and Good Natured Local Market in Kansas City during winter. This event highlighted the significance of community engagement and healthy eating, showcasing local food initiatives that connect corporate partners like Hallmark Cards with fresh produce through a collaborative CSA program. Activities included handing out CSA bags, interactions between beekeepers and children, and educational sessions for teachers and staff on nutritious food systems. The effort involved community members teaching kids about healthy meals as part of the WKKF GNFF Head Start program.
