Our Location
|
SECOM is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, within an area identified by the United States Department of Agriculture as a “food desert”—a region where residents have limited access to various healthy and affordable food options. Research indicates that such areas often experience higher rates of unemployment and are home to a greater proportion of historically underserved populations. SECOM’s presence in this community plays a vital role in bridging the gap in nutritional access by providing essential food resources and support services to families in a neighborhood where existing infrastructure is inadequate to meet their needs. |
