I am excited to pledge an additional donation to Chicago Market for our upcoming campaigns. 

I've been involved with Chicago Market since 2014, and the organization has never been in better shape, with a new store plan, strong financials, an enthusiastic board and, as ever, a compelling concept with the backing of thousands of members of the community.

I loaned to Chicago Market during our first owner loan campaign, but the hard work done by the board and the continued commitment from CTA make me eager to commit even more to make this project a success. COVID-19 has reminded all of us of the importance of knowing our food chain, and people are looking for ways to connect with local food.
