HEALTHY FOOD HUB
Black Oaks Center’s Healthy Food Hub provides weekly customized RX Therapeutic Food Bags for Pembroke families to prevent and treat high blood pressure. Disinvestment in Pembroke means that grocery stores and markets are scarce, leaving the township to struggle as a food desert. Our program stands in the gap, giving our families a chance at healthier lives and a brighter future.
