Solji Food

🎉 We're officially live on GoFundMe!

For three years, I've lived in Deanwood, listening to my neighbors and learning exactly what this community needs. Now I'm ready to open Solji Foods — a delivery-only grocery, prepared meal, deli, and bakery service built specifically for Deanwood and Ward 7.

Here's what your support helps build:
🥦 Groceries, meals, and fresh bread delivered straight to your door
💳 SNAP/EBT accepted online from day one
💼 42 full-time, living-wage jobs at $25–$30/hour, starting on opening day
♻️ A food recovery program that turns surplus food into meals instead of waste

I'm raising $1,000,000 to help build out our Deanwood fulfillment center, put our first electric delivery vehicles on the road, and stock our shelves for launch day.

If Solji Foods means something to you:
💛 Chip in whatever you can
📣 Share this with your family, friends, and neighbors
👀 Follow along for updates as we get closer to opening day

👉 Donate here: https://gofund.me/19ad43b1f

Let's build the food infrastructure Deanwood and Ward 7 have needed for a long time — together.

Hey y'all! I'm Talesha Simmons. I've called Deanwood home for… Talesha Simmons needs your support for Help Launch Solji Foods—Groceries, Meals & Jobs for Ward 7!
