American Food Disparity

America’s 49 Billion Food Insecure

A look at the problem of food insecurity in the US–a condition which affected 49 million Americans in 2013–and its harmful manifestations. Featuring insight and perspective from a range of distinguished experts, including from the food insecure themselves, “The American Food Disparity” examines food insecurity’s causes, effects and increasing exacerbation, and throws into sharp relief the growing urgency with which it presents us.

Planting 2015

TEDTalks

Ending hunger now

Josette Sheeran, the head of the UN’s World Food Program, talks about why, in a world with enough food for everyone, people still go hungry, still die of starvation, still use food as a weapon of war. Her vision: “Food is one issue that cannot be solved person by person. We have to stand together.”

Still need resources and social media feeds. Calendar, news, gallery, videos, etc.

The calendar below is linked to our Google account. It will be updated regarding work session cancellations as well as reflecting community groups scheduled to help. The goal is to provide insight to both volunteers, and volunteer groups, about last minute weather cancellations as well as our day to day volunteer coverage. This information will also be posted to Facebook and Twitter. If you would like to schedule a volunteer group of 8 or more, please contact Seed2Need@gmail.com.
