Loaves & Fishes Community Services helps provide food and support to struggling families in our communities, and we're proud to be able to partner with them and provide delicious, organic veggies to local families!
We are thrilled to highlight our partnership with The Conservation Foundation. Each week, the Loaves & Fishes team picks up a beautiful assortment of fresh, organic produce from the Conservation Foundation's Green Earth Harvest program to distribute to food-insecure families in Will County, ensuring that it typically reaches a family's hands within 24 hours of harvest. Thanks to this collaboration, we're providing nutritious food and helping transform lives together. 🌱🤝 A special thank you to the Conservation Foundation's Jennifer Hammer, VP of Land & Watershed Protection, and Sheryl Fasone, Green Earth Harvest Business Manager, for visiting us at our Aurora Hub earlier this month! #FreshVeggies #EndingHunger #TransformingLives #TeamWorkMakestheDreamWork

"According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States generated 292.4 million tons of trash in 2018. 23.6% of this was recycled. 50% went into landfill. Food waste alone accounted for a little over 63 tons of it. A lot of trash gets dumped into our water. It affects land. It affects water. It affects the air. It affects you. Wherever it gets placed, waste is an issue." Learn about conservation's uphill battle with waste from Steve Stawarz's latest post for The Conservation Foundation here: https://bit.ly/3wMTndN
