PitchFeast featuring Healthy Food Access Solutions

In response to the Marsh and Double 8 grocery store closings, the July PitchFeast event will feature entrepreneurial solutions to increasing access to healthy and affordable food in the Indianapolis neighborhoods that need them most. This has also been the topic of many community conversations including communityINNOVATE’s Indy Healthy Food Access Challenge that took place earlier this year.

Admission for this event is $15.00!

Our event partner, Seedling Distribution, Seedling University and Seedling Market is a total community placemaking initiative that seeks to build grocery stores, leverage grocery store as distribution center for mobile markets, and train local residents as entrepreneurs and staff. Through the Seedling initiatives, one of the presenters at the PitchFeast will be additionally selected to receive three one-on-one mentoring sessions with Sunny Lu, Scott Weaver and Trent Decatur to strengthen the social enterprise and seek sustainability.
