Improving the Food Supply in Illinois
Think Regeneration is based in Illinois, which is why we are committed to helping build a better food supply in our backyard with a network of key partners and scores of farmers who are working together to create community-wide impact through local food. All of our work is made possible through donations and grants.
Support Food is Medicine Pilots in Illinois
We are currently raising money to start the first prescription food pilot programs in Illinois
Enough is enough. We don't have to stand for increasing rates of chronic diseases in our communities. All indications are pointing to this fact: a consistent focus on soil health and soil biology is making our food more nutritious, which then can be prescribed by doctors to help decrease the rate of chronic diseases in our communities. To get started, we have a goal to raise $500,000 to create multiple pilots, which includes food purchasing, health care and soil testing, research validation, nutrition and cooking courses, and farmer training.
Our next step: We are raising $7,500 to offset the costs of more than 100 farmers who are involved with Down at the Farms LLC to convene Jan. 18, 2025, to meet with experts in prescription food programs and work toward the launch of the first pilots in Central Illinois.

Your generosity will support the costs of event venues, food, guest speakers, and event administration.
