Prospects for healthy corner stores

I'm on a mission to crack the healthy corner stores nut in the King County area. We've got lots of neighborhoods that lack access to fresh healthy food and even more regional food producers who should be connecting to these neighborhoods. There are some great new tools for linking together those who want to buy (like small groceries or corner stores) with those who want to sell. If we can just figure out the logistics of these transactions we'll be on our way to improving public health AND contributing to some economic development in the region. It won't be easy, but Urban Food Link is up to the challenge! (Along with lots of fabulous partners of course!)
