The Brief The new federal "Big Beautiful Bill" cuts $200 billion from SNAP, putting over 130,000 Illinois residents at risk of losing food assistance.
Dion Dawson, founder of Dion’s Chicago Dream, is scaling up operations to deliver 200,000+ pounds of fresh produce monthly to 180 zip codes.
Amid growing need, Dawson plans to open a 20,000-square-foot Dreamville campus in Englewood to expand food access and empower communities.
In 2020, he started with one fridge and a simple idea, fresh food for anyone who needs it.
There, you can sign up for deliveries and you can give directly to support jobs and buy fresh food.
