Health disparities plague urban communities, disproportionately affecting minority children in Michigan. Limited access to nutritious food exacerbates diet-related illnesses, perpetuating an ongoing crisis. RAWS addresses these issues through comprehensive programs, but the problem persists due to economic constraints, systemic barriers, and inadequate healthcare access.
