Cultivate Food Rescue’s Post

Many counties in Southwest Virginia have received significant damages because of Helene. Many are asking how they can help and are wanting to specifically assist farmers in need. Extension Agents in Southwest Virginia are working to assess farmer needs and the availability of donations. If you have anyone interested in donating, Virginia Cooperative Extension is working to coordinate those efforts. We are trying to get materials where they are needed. VCE is working with the VIRGINIA CATTLEMENS ASSOCIATION on accepting financial donations and hope to have that set up soon. All those interested in donating can fill out this form: https://lnkd.in/e5VedmNn Any farmer affected by the storm that needs assistance can fill out this form to let VCE know: https://lnkd.in/e6H8pXGb. Extension agents will also be adding farmers to the list with their needs.

A few sobering stats from the "Household Food Insecurity in Canada, 2022"◽ report: ◾ 22.9% of households in Newfoundland and Labrador experienced some degree of food insecurity in the previous 12 months, amounting to 116,000 people. ◾ This is the highest rate in any of the ten provinces in Canada. ◾ 28.8% of children under 18 in Newfoundland and Labrador lived in food-insecure households. Since 2022, NLCU has held its annual NLCU Fall Food Drive to help support individuals and families in Newfoundland and Labrador who experience food insecurity to get the nourishment they need. Please donate if you can. Between now and October 31, drop by your local NLCU branch to make a donation. ------ ◽ Li T, Fafard St-Germain AA, Tarasuk V.

Community programs that bring together older adults (65+) and young people (-18) have resulted in fewer depressive symptoms and better emotional and mental health. This is one of the ways that we can address loneliness and increase collective efficacy, social capital and social cohesion. #rethinkaging

If you own significant land assets and need to preserve your operating capital, donating land as a conservation easement can improve your cash flow. If you’re a farmer or rancher making this charitable donation, you could deduct 100% of your adjusted gross income and carry forward unused contributions for 15 years. In this article, Joe Fitts, CPA, Senior Manager at Aldrich, discusses the IRS's requirements and the benefits of conservation easements: https://lnkd.in/gvfbzkVE #AldrichAdvisors #TaxDeduction #Easements

Education unlocks potential, but financial barriers often block deserving students' paths—especially for first-generation and undocumented scholars. That's why we at Mission Graduates are proud to partner with the Mission Promise Neighborhood to provide critical support for students at John O'Connell High School. Our goal is to bridge the higher education gap. Even with traditional financial aid, students face tuition gaps, application fees, and technology costs. Undocumented students confront even greater hurdles as they don't qualify for government tuition assistance. Here's how you can make a difference: • Donate: Text MPNSF24 to 53-555 or visit givebutter.com/MPNSF24 to invest in their futures. • Volunteer: Let me know if you'd like to explore volunteering, including opportunities with scholarship selection. • Spread the Word: Share this post to raise awareness about #EducationEquity! #MissionGraduates #EducationEquity #UndocumentedStudents #FirstGeneration #CollegeAccess #SanFrancisco
