Addressing food insecurity through social enterprise.

Food Forward (a social enterprise of the Duluth Center for Women and Children) is a meal kit service rooted in the Central Hillside community, created to ensure families have access to healthy, affordable food.

Locally Grown: Women-Led Solutions for Lasting Change

Food Forward is more than just a meal delivery service—it’s a fully grassroots initiative created and led by the women of the Central Hillside, driven by a deep understanding of the unique challenges our community faces. Since our founding in 2022, we’ve delivered over 6,000 meal kits, helping low-income families in Duluth develop and sustain healthy eating habits
