The food medicine industry right now is about $26 billion.

And so when you think about that,

Imagine how detrimental it is if this market that's already here is not viewed as a market or market opportunity for the very communities that it says it's trying to help.

So food is medicine.

Basically, like that is the amount of money when you're talking about procurement, contracting and delivery of services from end to end, from the prescription being written from the doctor to the actual produce being provided throughout that supply chain.

Right now, that market is twenty six billion dollars.

So, you know, help with blood sugar, different things like that.

And so, you know, what we stumbled upon is understanding that, OK, cool.

Outside of food as medicine, you have Dionne Chicago Dream, which is here.

And our model is not only procuring the food, but delivering.

Whereas in most other companies, you can procure it, but you don't have the ability to deliver.

And so now we're collapsing two parts of that supply chain into one contract and one opportunity.

So for us, we're shortening the amount of players that's involved.

And we're also representing the very communities that we're trying to save.

We're not waiting for someone to give us a piece of the pie.

We're contracted to provide not only this product, but these services when we deliver.

As a result, we're able to make earned revenue to sustain what we're doing.

And so now you're talking about a $6 million business that one third of the earned revenue has come not from grants, not from independent donations, but from earned revenue through food as medicine.

We have something that we've been working on in the background that is going to be announced in the next few months.

But I think the biggest thing is, you know, if you're asking, where has this led me?
