Mt. Carmel Redevelopment Corp.’s dual focus on community support and redevelopment has attracted the Kansas Health Foundation as a partner.
For Jaclynn, a resident of rural Kansas, driving 26 miles to the nearest grocery store is not just time consuming. It also stretches the last of her budget and leaves her wondering how she can pay all her bills and still afford both gas and food.
