Corky’s Cupboard is planning to purchase new equipment and expand its stock thanks to Healthier Lyon County.
Healthier Lyon County announced Wednesday that Corky’s was recently awarded a $5,000 grant through the Pathways to a Healthy Kansas grant program funded by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas. Corky’s, located inside of the Memorial Union at Emporia State University, aims to help combat food insecurity for local students by providing fresh, healthy food options.
Plans are to use the recent grant award to purchase a refrigerator allowing Corky’s to stock fresh produce.
Corky’s is open Mondays through Thursdays from noon to 7 pm. For more information, visit Emporia.edu. For more information on Healthier Lyon County find them on Facebook.
