Our team recently attended Harvest: Food Entrepreneurship Summit at the London Food Incubator.
We listened to Vicki Mayer, Executive Director of ATN Accessm tell the founding story and resulting impact of the Old East Village Grocer. She was joined by colleagues Nick and Matt who helped design and implement the social enterprise that trains and employs people who don't always get a fair chance while providing affordable quality food to a neighbourhood that is going through change.
Did you know that a recent Social Return on Investment evaluation of the OEV Grocer discovered that for every $1 invested in the social enterprise, $3.77 is return in social benefit to community stakeholders?
