This supermarket project is a solution for communities which have been neglected, too long. It combines a supermarket with economic development, employment, education, healthy life style choices and much more. These things are necessary for a community to thrive.
Grocery shopping is too large a part of peoples lives to assume it makes little difference to a community. And whenever an idea involves bringing decent jobs, there's no reason not to do it!
This could help so many in the Austin community & may be a step toward decreasing the violence
I'm embarrassed to find that there is a 15 year lifespan difference between the wealthy and poor zip codes in Chicago. Food Deserts help create shortened life with higher disease. Eats should try to change this fact.
EATS will not only address the "food desert" issue but do so while proudly helping ex-offenders in the community get a "second chance."
This is an important step forward for a lot of areas.
This sounds good

I would like to seriously explore what is needed to bring this concept to South Shore (Chicago South Side).
