Dear FoodLoveChicago,
I imagine that most of you have heard of Growing Power. The head of their Chicago arm, Erika Allen, is speaking at Thousand Waves Martial Arts & Self-Defense Center on
Wednesday, March 7th, from 7 – 8:30 p.m. The event is free.
As the scourge of food deserts and the “urban farming”
movement have gained attention over the past several years, Growing Power has
emerged as a national leader in helping to provide equal access to healthy,
high-quality, safe and affordable food for people in all communities. Erika
Allen, National Outreach Manager, will share Growing Power’s work to cultivate
not only urban crops but a peaceful form of empowerment.
Please help me spread the word about this important event and I hope to see you there!
Warmly,
Rebecca
