Health food coming to north Dayton

The Food Mart at 1413 N. Main St. in Dayton has been selected to participate in the “Good Food Here - Healthy Corner Store” initiative from Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County.

The convenience store has promised to offer healthier foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, low-sodium canned goods, low-fat dairy options, and whole grains to local residents in an effort to transform the neighborhood from an urban food desert, where low-income residents with limited access to public and private transportation find it difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food.
