About [Edit]
The mission of the Institute for Community Resource Development (ICRD) in Chicago, Illinois is to rebuild the local food system. ICRD projects include: building grocery stores that bring access to sustainable products to urban communities of color, organizing farmers markets, converting vacant lots to urban farm sites, and distributing locally grown produce to restaurants.
ICRD is a founding partner of the Chicago Food Systems Collaboration (CFSC): a community and university partnership that examines food access in Chicago. CFSC has a research component that examines community access to food in urban and rural communities. CFSC has examined food access and its impact in grocery stores, a local farmers market, and schools.
The ultimate goal of CFSC is to build a locally owned grocery that provides access to healthy, high-quality foods including fruits and vegetables to urban residents.

I am a member of TUC and will be out of town during your forum presentation. I would be very interesting in volunteering with your organization! Please let me know if there are opportunities to assist.
