EatHere received $50,000 from LISC Indianapolis’ Equitable Food Access Initiative to build a social engagement marketplace for discovering and purchasing local food and beverage brands.
The platform aggregates content from social networks, news publications, and blogs to make it easy for users to find and share information about local food. The grant will help with staffing; developing a web-based food hub to serve as a one-stop destination for consumers to purchase locally produced food and food-related products; incentive programs for local food purchases; and organizing and hosting community-based food events and interactive workshops.
