(Formerly Bendix Corporation Administration Building)"Introducing the Future" is the kickoff event to build support and momentum for
The Eating Well Grocery Store & Community Cafe.
· Residents in the LaSalle Square area express the need for a grocery store in their neighborhood.
· Currently, it is more difficult to buy an apple or a carrot than to buy a soda or candy bar.
· 18% of residents living within a one-mile radius of the LaSalle Square site have no transportation.
· These circumstances make you 25-46 percent LESS likely to have a healthy diet than people with supermarkets near their home.
PLAN OF ACTION: The Eating Well, a non-profit food market founded by LaSalle Square neighbor, Marilyn Gachaw and co-founder Catherine Flatley and others, will provide access to fresh, healthy and affordable food at LaSalle Square, located on Bendix Drive, near Lincoln Way West. We are hosting a community meal to raise funds and awareness to get our project started.
Please join us on March 15th. We will have a meet-and-greet from noon until 1pm. The meal will be served from 1-3pm and there will be a brief program at 1pm. There is no charge to attend the meal, a free will offering will be greatly appreciated.
