Farms-To-Families
Our mission is to connect with local farms over the summer months in order to give out fresh organic vegetables fruits and meats to families located in Low Income neighborhoods in general and Ithaca Housing Projects in particular ( Parkside, Chestnut, North side…etc).In order to promote healthy eating
We have found that during our Door-To-Door food outreach last summer that there is not any local Door -to -door food outreach for shut-ins, single moms and working families who cannot make the weekly daytime hours to access the local food pantries. We have decided to provide this much needed service to low-income families in Ithaca with The short term goal of providing Healthy organic foods to low income Housing areas in The City of Ithaca and to engender interest in local gardening and farming. The Long term Goal is to produce farm-to-housing associations for the Ithaca Housing Projects as well as small scale food co-ops that are maintained and managed by Low Income Residents.
