Dear Chicago Community Gardeners Association,

Greetings, we are Zoe Castillo and Lily Engelhardt, students at Whitney
Young. We are working on a service learning project for my summer
civics class at Whitney Young High School. In this project we must partner
with an association to theoretically solve a problem in the
Chicagoland area. We are trying to start a community garden on the south
side of Chicago to try and solve the problem of food deserts and lack of
healthy food. Would you be willing to be our partner in this issue and (if
we acquire a plot of land) help us plant the vegetables and native
prairie plants with some of your expert members? The community garden
could be located somewhere on the southside of Chicago,
preferably somewhere where accessing vegetables and fruits is difficult.
One possible location would be 5727 S Halsted St, Chicago IL 60621. It is
an empty plot of land with grass and some trees lining the right side.

Thank you for your consideration.

sincerely,
Lily Engelhardt and Zoe Castillo
