قسمتی از متن فیلم: (Kate) We’re a non-profit mission based health system and if the communities that we serve are not healthier, we fundamentally have not done our job. Health is determined by a lot of non clinical factors, it’s not just what happens in a
Doctor’s office or in a hospital it really is the social and economic factors where we live, where we go to school, the type of job we have. We started to think about what could we as an anchor institution do to the communities we
Serve? A lot of our neighborhoods in the Toledo area struggled with access to healthy affordable food. A food desert is an area that does not have a grocery store within 1 mile. We struggle with the quality transportation access, 1 mile is
A huge barrier to getting healthy and affordable food. As a health system we started to map all the food deserts really understanding the connection between health and food. The idea of a non-profit grocery store with the mission to eliminate a food desert is really outside a grocery business model
And so our board said you know what this is a community need, we are gonna step up and we are gonna actually open the grocery store ourselves. (Antron) I used to have to go three to six miles in my neighborhood just to get some
Nutritional food. Some of us never got the opportunity and now I just have to go right around the corner. (Kate) Market on the Green is a comprehensive full-service grocery store We also have a mobile unit that travels to 30 low-income senior sites
Throughout the community, to make sure that individuals who might be homebound can get access to groceries. (Antron) Ebeid stores have been a great necessity in my neighborhood. To bring food to people that disabled like myself but elderly people that can’t get around. (Kate) From our data we’ve
Been able to show when we connect individuals to food, we can actually lower health care cost and so we’re working one-on-one with individuals and neighborhoods to make sure they have the right supports, but also thinking more broadly – What’s the housing stock?
What’s the physical infrastructure look like? Are there vacant lots? Are there dilapidated buildings? And so both at an individual level being able to connect to the right services and programs but also making sure we’re deploying capital across entire neighborhoods. We have partnered with our local Arts Commission to do
Things like murals, painting, and concerts ultimately building trust as a way to build community. Understanding what the needs are and also empowering resident leaders to help drive strategy and investments. (Antron) I’m going to the grocery store learning how to cook, learning how to garden, being more aware in the
Community, of my surroundings because of the program. We go to different meetings where we feel like we are part of the downtown area and we included in the different activities. Everybody’s included disabled, elderly, one big family. (Kate) The resident leadership, resident voice is truly driving the strategy and the
Investments through the Ebeid Neighborhood Promise. One of the things we’re working on is actually a mixed income housing development right across from the grocery store. Incredible opportunity to bring retail businesses but also to make sure that individuals in a variety of different income levels
Are able to live, stay in the neighborhood, but also relocate to the neighborhood as well. (Antron) What I hear from the tenants they are really excited about all the different changes. For me is so inspiring, it brings the community together.
