Food resource guide provided
From our weekly issue dated July 21, 2010
In an effort to encourage gardeners and farmers to share excess food crops with those in need, the Spiral Living Center Illinois Valley Food Coalition has created a “Food Resources in the Illinois Valley“ flier.
The flier was distributed through Illinois Valley News and the Common Ground newsletter, and soon will be available at locations throughout the valley.
Said Mara Lambert, the Center“s office assistant, “We were able to print and distribute 3,500 copies of the flier through the help of local donors and the Carpenter Foundation of Medford. Our team worked many hours gathering the information and designing the flier.“
The flier also lists local meal programs and has suggestions for stocking an emergency food pantry. Food banks listed on the flier have noted an increase in requests for food assistance. Donations of canned goods, besides fresh produce, are needed to continue to meet the increased demand.
For free copies of the flier, contact Spiral Living Center at 541-592-3642, or spirallivinginfo@gmail.com. The Center is a nonprofit educational center promoting sustainable living skills in Illinois Valley.
