Alchemist CDC's Sam Greenlee encourages economic opportunity through food-based businesses

Alchemist CDC’s Sam Greenlee encourages economic opportunity through food-based businesses

Alchemist Community Development Corp., which was founded in 2014, has many projects under its umbrella, all of them a part of the nonprofit’s mission to "connect communities to land, food and opportunity." Those goals, Executive Director Sam Greenlee says, can be achieved in part by helping entrepreneurs who may be just starting out and in need of some assistance. "They just need that helping hand for the first couple of years to get started on that, so they can start to build wealth and employing their neighbors," Greenlee said. Before joining Alchemist, Greenlee had been working with his neighbors in Sacramento’s Oak Park to foster a stronger sense of community in the area. He co-founded the Oak Park Fix-It Cafe, a monthly gathering where neighbors could help one another with projects like bike and small appliance repair. Community engagement was not new to Greenlee. Initially, seeing the potential for community aid within religious structure, Greenlee pursued theology and graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2012 with a master of divinity. "The places where I had seen community work being done effectively was in congregations. That’s where I saw people taking care of one another and people running programs that […]
