Fifty seniors are served weekly with four free plant-based meals. Health data is tracked through A1C, glucose, and BMI testing, and the program powered locally by local farms, chefs, and labs.
The program is one of several new programs that Thomasville Community Development Corporation is able to implement as recipients of a two-year grant ($100,000 this year) from Drawdown Georgia.
