The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Allston-Brighton is in many ways a food desert and a diverse community. How about a bus that on Saturdays brings residents to places where they could find affordable culturally relevant foods: Market Basket, Star Market, HMart, the 99, etc.
Who it helps and why
Diverse cultures require diverse foods that are affordable and available. This would help families who might not have transportation access the foods that they need. Many have to walk to a local store that is expensive and doesn’t have what they require to make nutritious and affordable meals.
