Setting The Table Hosted By Urban Growers Collective

Hosted by Urban Growers Collective, Setting the Table unites South Shore, Grand Crossing, Auburn Gresham, and South Chicago in a powerful day of connection and collaboration.

This event centers on the belief that communities thrive when they have control over their food systems. Supporting local growers and food entrepreneurs by establishing shared market spaces, we work to empower residents to shape their own food futures.

Participants will engage in shared meals, story circles, and resource exchanges — all designed to build trust, map community assets, and co-create equitable opportunities for local growers and food-based businesses.

Together, we’re redefining what it means to set the table — not just to share food, but to share power, purpose, and possibility.
