2nd Annual Farm Fresh Holiday Meal Distribution Program
The Food Security Team is hard at work coordinating the Farm Fresh Holiday Meal Distribution Program, a heartfelt initiative designed to bring the warmth and joy of the season to senior citizens and homebound individuals in our community.
In Greensboro, we are proud to partner with the Triad Black Faith Leaders and Black Farmers Network (TBFL&BFN), Lucas Farm Fresh, Greensboro Chapter of Links, and the Greensboro Housing Authority to distribute 515 food boxes and 75 hot meals. These boxes will be delivered to an elementary school, a housing complex, a senior home, and through participating churches to reach families in need.
In High Point, we are once again joining forces with Growing High Point and Helping Hands to distribute 203 food boxes and 75 hot “holiday meals” for seniors and homebound individuals. Each of these holiday packages will also feature the youth-made cards from D-Up Inc.
This year, we worked with a total of seven community partners and three farmers to distribute 718 total boxes of fresh food, which is estimated to weigh 12,206 lbs! That weight does not include the meat that was also provided. In addition to the fresh food boxes, we added 150 hot meals to be delivered to senior and homebound individuals throughout the county, continuing a collaborative tradition of community partners and producers working together to source fresh food from local farmers.
Thank you to everyone who was involved in this program, we couldn’t have done it without you!
Photovoice
The Food Security Team has been hard at work facilitating focus groups and collecting photos as well as narratives for our Photovoice project!
What is Photovoice, you may ask? Photovoice is a way of doing research where people can use photos to explore and share their community. Photovoice is effective because the use of photos eliminates barriers such as language, technology, and culture. An example of a Photovoice photo and narrative has been included for reference.
