Weeding out Hunger
I had my first little accomplishment last week! I was able to set up a meeting with one of our potential partners for the plot against hunger, Momentive. Today I am on-boarding them into the program and orienting them to … Continue reading
Say what?
Its the end of my second week as a full-time Fellow, and as cliche as it sounds, I don’t know where the time went! My main task at Children’s Hunger Alliance is to assign volunteers to appropriate sites, which was … Continue reading
Cultural Orientation
This past week I took over my greatest responsibility for my summer at CRIS, leading the cultural orientation course, or CO. The CO is organized into two, four hour sessions conducted on Monday and Wednesday mornings and is taught by … Continue reading

Finding the Right Tools
I’ve never been much of a diagram guy. My Public Health master’s program spends a good bit of time on program planning and teaching us to create things like logic models, but as someone who tends to be more narrative-focused, … Continue reading
The Need Conundrum
We completed the pea teepees and did great work on our herb garden. Currently corn, cucumbers, and squash are germinating and we have successfully on-boarded AmSpirit as a partner in the garden as well! The concept of food-banking may seem … Continue reading
The Garden at MOF
One of my responsibilities at the Mid Ohio Food Bank is running the volunteer hours at the Community Garden here on-site. Last week we harvested 18 pounds of lettuce and 3 pounds of radishes that went directly into the Kroger … Continue reading
