Filling Food Access Gaps in Lincoln Park

For fourteen years, Eco3 has been working to strengthen connections, support community-led initiatives, and build resources that make our neighborhood stronger. Today, we’re tackling one of Lincoln Park’s most urgent needs: a neighborhood grocery store with everyday essentials within walking distance for residents. With your support, we can make it a reality.    

Confronting Food Insecurity in a Local Food Desert

For years, Lincoln Park residents have made one request louder than any other at public meetings, in surveys, and in doorstep conversations: we need a grocery store. Even before recent threats to SNAP and other safety-net programs, 40% of residents reported barriers to accessing food. And 1 in 5 of households lack reliable transportation. This leaves many families relying on gas stations for meals or spending hours on buses just to buy groceries.

To build a more equitable neighborhood where everyone can thrive, closing this food access gap is essential. That’s the vision behind LNPK Grocery, a grocery store for all, on Superior Street in the heart of Lincoln Park.

LNPK Grocery: Fresh Food, Local Connection

LNPK Grocery’s mission is simple: provide healthy, fresh, and accessible food for the community. But the store will offer more than groceries. It will be a hub for well-being, community gatherings, and programs that help neighbors connect. LNPK Grocery will also accept SNAP and WIC, expanding access for families throughout Lincoln Park and the greater Duluth area.

Supporting Food Access in Lincoln Park

Your gift to Ecolibrium3 will directly advance the LNPK Grocery project. After earlier delays, our construction permit is finally in hand, and we’re ready to build. With your help, we can complete construction and close one of the most significant food access gaps in our community.

Together, we can bring healthy, accessible food to Lincoln Park.
