This week was the first week that we ordered from a wholesaler. There are pros and cons to each method, and I would prefer to support local farms and food shed, but we do what is possible. $275 provided over 50 people with sweet potatoes, greens, green beans, cabbage, carrots, apples, and oranges. Additional funds went to support elderly Black Families in North Garden that a friend of Katherine Burton had identified.
It is gratifying to be able to deliver fresh produce to families. Last week Pat Seay arranged all families to receive free Thanksgiving kits, including a turkey. People were so happy because the need for a holiday meal was looming, and the logistics and expense was challenging. Thank you for what you are doing for community. There are so many ways to support one another. I send this email out I send it out to a wide swath of people– wanting to let you know what I’m up to– the impact of your gift– or give you a moment of joyous solidarity.
If you are able to financially support, Thank You! Information is below.
If you would like to be part of receiving delivered wholesale vegetables, and you are in Cville, please be in touch. It’s so much more affordable than grocery!
