Think Regeneration Presents

The Chicago Market Project

We are building a coalition with growers and entrepreneurs to help launch the Chicago Market, which will open in May 2024, and connect underserved growers in the region with an exclusive market opportunity to fill a 15,000 sq ft co-op grocery store/nutrition center in the Uptown neighborhood.

More Than A Grocery Store

Once established, the Chicago Market will become a national model for community-based, economically-sound food distribution. Your support is needed and will create opportunities for family farmers, fill logistical gaps in the food supply, build resilient, healthy communities, and provide nutrition for all.

Think Regeneration's Role

Think Regeneration is an official partner of Chicago Market. We are working with the task force to raise $250k in philanthropic or low-interest capital that would trigger about $10.8 million in grant funding, and could be repaid within 18 months or less. The funding will allow our task force to stay on track for construction in 2023, expand the grower supply network, and prepare to apply the grant funding. Once opened, Think Regeneration will support Chicago Market by helping them buy from underserved farmers, collect consumer interest data, and sharing their national model with other interested groups and municipalities.

Donate to Chicago Market Project

Think Regeneration is a 501(c)(3) committed to ensuring your generosity makes a real impact in our food supply. All donations will go to help create more opportunities for underserved growers in Illinois to supply the Chicago Market.

Pay with PayPal or a debit/credit card
