Kelly Viselman is a community organizer at EZRA Multi Service
Center. Kelly works community members on the Northside of Chicago on issues
that are important to members of the community, including food security.
Through her work at EZRA, Kelly helped to implement a community gardening
program for EZRA participants. She and her participants are also working with the
Uptown Farmers market to ensure that the fresh produce sold there is
financially and physically accessible to all members of the Uptown
Neighborhood. Kelly worked on the planning Committee for the SNAPshots
project and also helped to organize EZRA's participation in SNAPshots. Kelly and EZRA are excited about the SNAPshots
project because it gives a creative outlet and a voice for people experiencing
food insecurity on the Northside of Chicago. When Kelly is not working,
she is also a beginning backyard gardener!
