April 7 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm
Free – $15

"This event is hosted by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension.

This webinar will explore #WaldoCounty Bounty’s Give and Take program, a stigma-free model for sharing surplus #GardenProduce through community drop-off sites. Participants will learn how the program operates, how new sites are selected, and how to start a #GiveAndTake site in their own community. Developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to address farm losses and food insecurity in rural Waldo County, #Maine, where nearly 6,000 residents face #FoodInsecurity, the program connects local #gardeners, #farmers, and #neighbors to expand access to healthy, local food.

Speakers: Viña Lindley, UMaine Extension Horticulture Professional and Mattie John Bamman, Waldo County Bounty Communications Coordinator"

So, I am seeing some patterns... Cutting #USDA funding, support for #LocalFood and #LocalFarms, #SNAPCuts, #UnaffordableHealthCare, etc. #HungerGames. Plain and simple. Cull the population. This is #LifeOrDeath for many Americans. And #NationalGuard / #ICE / #DHS bullshit is just the establishment of a national police force (#CapitolPolice) to #SilenceDissent. #DoublePlusUngood! Pay attention folks!

#FoodAid groups bought from #LocalFarmers with #USDA grants. Abrupt cuts leave both struggling.

By Meg Oliver, June 30, 2025

"Four days a week, Maile Auterson and one of her employees drive hundreds of miles across Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas to deliver fresh produce to #FoodDeserts.

"Auterson's nonprofit, Springfield #CommunityGardens, helps #UnderservedSchools, #FoodPantries and senior centers. One center in Ava, #Missouri, is the only place for many where they can get a hot meal.

"Springfield Community Gardens is one of many organizations that relied on grants from the United States Department of Agriculture to distribute produce to schools and low-income communities through two pandemic-era federal programs. They provided about $1 billion in funding to schools and food banks to buy food directly from local farms, ranchers and producers.

"But in March, the USDA abruptly canceled the programs, calling the decision a 'return to long-term, fiscally responsible initiatives.'

"Now, Auterson says, 'some of the most vulnerable people' are without adequate access to food, including children and #SeniorCitizens."

Food aid groups bought from local farmers with USDA grants. Abrupt cuts leave both struggling.

Advocates warn the cuts could ripple through food deserts, rural communities and urban areas where access to healthy food is miles away.

#Massachusetts - #GrowFood #Northampton raises more than $1M for #AtRrisk communities

Namu Sampath, Thu, July 24, 2025

NORTHAMPTON — "#GrowFoodNorthampton is growing.

"The local food and #farming justice group has raised over $1 million for an effort to increase support for vulnerable community members, it said in a statement.

"The money will go toward providing more #FreshFoods to families experiencing hunger, will establish #CommunityGardens at #LowIncome housing sites, will support #LocalFarms and #gardeners, and will go toward implementation of #ClimateResilience measures.

" 'All of these efforts are critical right now due to drastic #FederalCuts to local food and farming programs, the ongoing #ClimateCrisis, and ever-growing #inequities in the local food system and beyond,' the statement said.

"The fundraising effort began late last year. There was an 'outpouring of support,' and the financial goal was met ahead of schedule, the group said.

"The organization will still accept donations through the rest of the summer, and supporters can opt to add their names to a campaign contributors list, which will be installed at the Community Garden in Florence.

"The organization also said it would accept non-monetary support from the community.

" 'Community members are invited to attend summer events, share the campaign with friends and family, and volunteer their time,' the statement said."
