2023 Winter Mixer

The 2023 Winter Mixer is an interactive event designed to engage various persons within the food supply chain (food workers, food producers, distributors, buyers, policymakers, financers, and community stakeholders) to advance the Metro Chicago Good Food Purchasing Initiative and understand what role we all collectively play within the regional food system. Attendees can expect to walk away with knowledge/awareness about funding opportunities, certification processes, pathways to institutional procurement, as well as the ability to network and build relationships. We are inviting our community of organizations, industry leaders, and business owners who are actively working with the food system to identify transformative solutions to establish a more equitable and just food system. We aim to keep this conversation going and continue to collectivize at the 2024 Food Justice Summit.
