The Hustle is what builds communities. It drives business and cements greatness. It brings revitalization and in the Detroit food system it's especially necessary because it feeds the community with hope and nutrition.
Detroit is filled with entrepreneurs who are working to end disparities in food access in underserved communities, but they need our help. The hustle cannot survive if it is not Harvested. Help FoodLab Detroit and FoodPlus Detroit continue to support innovative entrepreneurs who drive change in the Motor City.
