Thank you for being part of our village and helping to connect local people to local foods and food businesses. Last fall you, along with 50+ of your neighbors, helped us raise $21,000. Our goal is to raise $30,000 this year. Together, we are building a stronger and more just food system on Aquidneck Island. A couple highlights from this year:
Educated over 800 children on the joys of growing fresh foods
Connected over 30,000 people to local food and food businesses through our farmers markets
Our reach is growing, but so is the need. In Rhode Island, 1 in 8 people experience persistent food insecurity, with our communities of color disproportionately impacted. At the same time, less than 3% percent of food consumed in Rhode Island is locally sourced.
Can we count on you to help us support more of our neighbors and local growers? It only takes a minute to donate, and donations of every size affect our ability to sustain and grow our programs. Please give what you can.
