Feel good Sunday: When ZIP codes no longer dictate health
What if the most powerful medicine against health inequity is fresh produce thoughtfully delivered?
Dion Dawson, founder of Dion’s Chicago Dream, reimagines charitable food aid. Instead of outdated pantries, his mission delivers nutritious groceries to residents’ doors — a scalable social enterprise that turned community goodwill into a million-dollar impact in just 18 months.
His model proves: when access to healthy food isn’t tied to your ZIP code, health outcomes become fairer. It’s a reminder that innovation and empathy go hand in hand.
