Sherry Phillips, 61, who has lived in Englewood all her life and has known Dawson for almost all of his, says that the deliveries help her partly because health issues make it difficult for her to go outside or carry things. For Phillips, the best thing about the food Dawson delivers is that it’s fresh and saves her money. At the Whole Foods near her, “the price is crazy.” Englewood’s median income is $22,127, making the prices of Whole Foods, one of the two main grocery stores in the area, inaccessible. According to a community survey run in 2019 by the Inner-City Muslim Action Network, the organization spreadheading Go Green on Racine, fewer than 20% of Englewood’s community shops at Whole Foods.
