On Friday morning we departed to Detroit Mercy University to assemble and deliver produce bags for the local community. Following the distribution of produce, we drove to get lunch at Farmacy Foods which is a Detroit based organization that partners with local farmers to make delicious food for Detroit residents. We met Chef Phil Jones and neighborhood block leaders to get to know more about sustainability, nutrition, and surrounding issues related to food distribution and accessibility.
During the afternoon we headed to Dearborn to explore the Arab American Museum. The museum was full of insightful and interesting exhibits about the Arab culture. Following our visit to the museum, we headed to a nearby falafel house for some delicious food!
