Hi all, Does anyone have ideas for good ways to partner with local USDA offices?
Some of our community gardens have interacted with the USDA through the "People's Garden" initiative. This has mostly entailed a few local USDA staff volunteering in our gardens over the last couple years. Recently they also approached us about participating in the "Feds Feeding Families Food Drive." (We already donate our extra produce to local food pantries, so it seems participating would probably just add more complexity at this point...) I'm wondering if there are more meaningful ways to engage USDA staff that we are not thinking of? -- Susan Finlayson Network Coordinator Wasatch Community Gardens 824 S. 400 W., Suite 127 Salt Lake City, UT 84101 www.wasatchgardens.org (801) 359-2658 x12 Wasatch Community Gardens' mission is to empower people of all ages and incomes to grow and eat healthy, organic, local food. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
