Over two years, a pilot program that delivered groceries to residents with disabilities in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood has served 176 neighbors 7,500 boxes of food. Vivery.org led the pilot and partnered with local food pantries, produce vendors, and a neighborhood-based delivery service. Learn more about their community-driven model ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gBXE5ade
"They found 22 percent of participants were no longer food insecure after joining the program, 59 percent found it easier to access healthy food through the program, and 43 percent experienced lower stress around food access." These are significant findings! Thank you Vivery.org for operating such an important and needed program in Chicago.
