Local Foods Connection

Local Foods Connection purchases produce, bread, eggs, meat and other products from local earth-friendly farms and donates these goods to families who cannot afford such nutritious, tasty and fresh food. We provide opportunities for families to visit a farm and to learn healthy cooking methods. With your support, we assist families in need of a helping hand, strengthen our local foods network and empower the farmers who live and work just outside of your neighborhood. Local Foods Connection works with families who, throughout a four to five month period, are committed to preparing good, healthy meals using our donated produce. We are matched with families who care about what they eat and the environment in which they live with the help of local charitable, religious, and social service organizations. We enroll families in a community supported agriculture (CSA) program. We purchase goods from small family farmers who use sustainable farming practices, such as growing vegetables without chemical pesticides and raising animals in a humane environment. You are invited to make a financial donation to Local Foods Connection and to volunteer.
