The best way for us to demonstrate community support to the CTA, the Alderman, and the Mayor is to tell our story about why we believe in bringing our community food co-op to the Wilson CTA.
Do you want to support the local economy? Shop healthy and affordable local food for you and your family? Produce well-paying jobs with benefits in our neighborhood? Get Owner returns and savings in store? Support farmers and local producers by providing a large distribution destination?

I also want my food to be seasonal, organic and from my local community. Science is showing every day how important it is to eat seasonally and from your local area to boost your immune system and optimize your health. Why not do it if you can? And why not support your local farmers who want to feed you? That’s why they do what they do. And, that’s why we, the community, should support them.
And, finally, on a personal note, I would love to work for a company who is doing everything they can to bring this kind of business to the community. We need each other and need to support each other. Together we can make this happen!
