FoodChain has opened its Neighborhood Green Grocery on Lexington's north side, bringing fresh, local and affordable food to a neighborhood long considered a food desert.

Spring is here in Northside 🌿

Join us May 3rd for the Annual All-Member Meeting at The Green Grocery, a chance to connect with neighbors, hear updates, and get involved in what’s happening across the community.

This month’s newsletter (linked in comments) also highlights local neighbor spotlights, upcoming events, and ways to stay engaged as we head into a busy spring season. From community meetings to neighborhood initiatives, there’s a lot going on and plenty of ways to plug in.

Northside stays strong when neighbors show up. Hope to see you there!
