Reducing Food Insecurity by Establishing Community Gardens across our counties:
- We invite individuals to work in the gardens in exchange for food to feed themselves and their families.
- We use any extra produce to fill local food pantries and feed the needy.
- We teach skills that help people become more independent.
- Individuals’ volunteer hours in the garden can be used to help them qualify for Medicaid.
Building & Strengthening the Safety Net:
- Partnering with Organizations in our area who are already providing services to our communities.
- Sharing information about services available to those in need.
- Supporting those services.
- Determining where the holes in our safety net lie.
- Creating additional services to fill those holes.
