On Monday we hosted a very special guest at the OzHarvest Waterloo Market and Refettorio OzHarvest - Her Excellency, The Governor General of Australia, Sam Mostyn! Her Excellency’s commitment to care, compassion, and kindness is evident in everything she does. By both her words and deeds it is clear that she role models these values. We were hugely honoured that within just a couple weeks of her swearing in as The Governor General she visited OzHarvest to highlight the work we do and most importantly shine a spotlight on the challenges being faced by so many due to the current cost of living crisis. Spending time to chat and hear stories directly from market customers, staff, and volunteers allowed the Governor General to better understand the struggles so many are experiencing. We also learned today that she loves taking selfies! At the Refettorio, Her Excellency donned an OzHarvest apron where she joined a NEST session and helped prepare a delicious and budget friendly meal. There was more listening, learning, meal sharing, and of course - more selfies! Why not! 💛

Empowering Sustainable Construction: Energizing Communities Your Trusted Energy Broker in Commercial real estate and Construction.
Each food items in a typical U.S. meal has traveled an average of 1,500 miles....If every U.S. citizen ate just one meal a week (any meal) composed of locally and organically raised meats and produce we would reduce our country's oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil every week. Do you know where your food comes from? The farmers in our community provide the crops, fruits, and vegetables that make up our produce section. Farms and ranches small and large are the backbones of our economy. And they need your support! Depending on how we spend them, our food dollars can either go to support a food industry devoted to quantity and convenience and “value” or they can nourish a food chain organized around values—values like quality and health. Yes, shopping this way takes more money and effort, but as soon you begin to treat that expenditure not just as shopping but also as a kind of vote—a vote for health & our countries well being in the largest sense. #SupportLocalFarmers #profoundfarms #texasfarmers #sustainablefarming #DFWcommunity #eatlocal

I had to add nutrition education to our summer program some how 😀. How can a Nutritionist with a PhD be organizing a summer program without a spice of nutrition education? Many parents reach out to me with questions on how to get their kids to eat our local meals and reduce their reliance on junk food. One of the best ways to achieve this is for the kids to know the nutrients these foods contain and how it will help them remain healthy, active and strong. Nobody wants to be sick; children don’t want to be sick too. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn how to make our delicious soups in a healthy way.
Your kids could learn how to make our delicious Nigerian soups this summer at ACC Hub on July 26th & 27th. 20% discount for early bird registration (code FG001) To pre-register your child for our next summer program click https://lnkd.in/dX89r3tK

It took us three years to go from zero to $10,000 to $500,000. Then just one year to double it to over $1 million dollars. That's a lovely curve on a chart. The main reason it is so gratifying is the good work we have done: — It is the equivalent of 2,000,000 meals through Island Harvest Food Bank — or 1,000,000 million trees through One Tree Planted — or 77,000 people being provided with drinkable water through Saha Global. Learn more about why we have a million reasons to celebrate! https://lnkd.in/ek9FjHEG
