Farmers to Families Food Box Initiative
In response to COVID-19, The Marion Institute's Southcoast Food Policy Council is participating in the Southcoast Farmers to Families Food Box Initiative, which will provide 30,000 20lb boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables to area families in need through the summer. The council is working with local partners to distribute nearly 600 boxes per week to at-risk populations across the Southcoast, from Wareham and New Bedford, to Westport and Fall River. A lot of people are struggling, and this is about neighbors feeding neighbors. Please consider supporting the Southcoast Policy Food Council. If you want to learn more and/or contribute to The Institute to help extend these programs, please go to www.marioninstitute.org.
