A West Garfield Park business owner teamed up with Rush University Medical Center to combat food insecurity after a Save-A-Lot rat infestation.

CHICAGO -- When the neighborhood Save-A-lot temporarily closed due to a rat infestation earlier this month, it hit close to home for West Garfield Park's Deshawn Nelson.

"You have to travel outside of your community approximately two miles to get to the closest grocery store that has healthy produce," said Julia Basset of Rush University Medical Center."They resort to going to their local gas station, to go to maybe a liquor store... or the most popular thing they do is go to a fast food chain."
