Bridging the Gap of Local Produce and Low-Income
I had one of the busiest weeks of my fellowship this past week. We are gearing up for the Weeding Out Hunger workshop on food insecurity taking place this Wednesday and the amount of detail and reflection needed to make … Continue reading
The Interview of Interviews

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
