This week the Avedis Foundation announced it has issued a $151,600 grant to Community Market of Pottawatomie County (CMPC) to help it continue its mission to end hunger in the area.
CMPC, at 120 S. Center in Shawnee, strives to work with people to gain resources, to connect them to partner organizations that have the resources or to help them get into a position where food insecurity is no longer an issue.
Community Market offers healthy foods that include fresh produce and proteins that are often not available due to economic restraints.
