We have amazing Club Members making a difference in our community, including Lisa Schutz, the Executive Director of SEMNFRR, Equity Eats.
 
Last week, Lisa briefly shared information on Farm Share to Shelves, a wonderful program that provides opportunities for local food producers to advance their income/market share while enhancing community access to fresh food. For those who missed the meeting or want to know how to participate, please see the information below.

Rotarians who would like to participate in Farm Shares to Shelves can support the work in a few different ways—including purchasing a farm share for their own household, sponsoring food for a neighbor or family in need, or supporting our school programs.
