Your biggest worry right now could be marshmallows or no marshmallows. The debate is real, and the opinions are firm about this Southern favorite. But there are some neighbors whose worries are a bit bigger this Thanksgiving holiday - like where their next meal is coming from. This Thanksgiving, know what your meal is worth. For the cost of one sweet potato casserole ($12.50), 125 meals could be served to those in need ($1 = 10 meals). Just a little food for thought as you hunt for Louisiana sweet potatoes! #HappyThanksgiving #Thanksgiving #HappyThanksgivingFestivities #GiveThanks #feedinglouisiana #hungerrelief #hunger #foodbank #foodinsecurity #hungercrisis #fooddrive #donate #louisianahungerrelief #takeaction #hungerinlouisiana

To learn a little more about our journey from Maine’s nutrient-rich ground to your plate, let’s dive into our evolution. Harvesting Good, born as a wholly owned subsidiary of Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine, emerged with a powerful mission to revolutionize the structure of a regional food system. All around us, families face the challenge of getting healthy meals on the table, local farmers fight to earn a living and rural communities are suffering from years of economic hardship. At the same time, supermarkets and food producers are becoming more efficient and wasting less food—food that used to get donated to food banks. Good Shepherd Food Bank recognized the need for a regional food system that would provide healthy food for all, establish an additional revenue stream for small and mid-size farmers, and give back to our communities without asking for donations. Learn more about how we strive to provide healthy meals, support local farmers, and build resilient communities. Visit www.harvestinggood.com #HarvestingGood

Today we’ve unveiled ‘The River Within’, a new, long-term programme to preserve and protect the health of some of Scotland’s iconic rivers and waterways. We like to think there is a river within every dram of whisky. Each of our distilleries is built on the banks of a renowned Scottish river. We draw from these waters and from them our whiskies are born. Just as we rely on the rivers, the rivers rely on us. Today climate change is disrupting the delicate balance of our terroir, threatening the rich diversity of life in and around the waters of Scotland. This is why we’re taking action with three charitable trusts: The Deveron, Bogie and Isla Rivers Charitable Trust, Findhorn Watershed Initiative and Spey Catchment Initiative to safeguard and restore the waters, banks, and burns that give our whisky life. Join us as we raise a glass to the waters of Scotland, protecting whisky today, and for generations to come: https://lnkd.in/eBSByavb #ChivasBrothers #TheRiverWithin

I presented my final action research project on the topic "Enhancing food donation awareness among catering businesses in Rhode Island: Understanding legal protections to navigate food donations safely and with minimal risk". My goal in this project is to increase food donations in Rhode Island through catering businesses in order to achieve zero waste. Three threads include perception and behavior of caterers towards leftover food, food donation laws and protocols and Incentives for leftover food donations. These threads helped me to find out the perspectives about food donations among caterers. Through interviews and surveys, I found out some barriers in food donations, and was also able to provide solutions to catering businesses on how to reduce food waste and food insecurity through food donations. Thanks to Branden Lewis for helping me to choose this great topic, and thanks for supporting me throughout this journey. Thanks Isaac Bearg for providing me enough knowledge on food donations and the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. Also, thanks to Dana Siles for sharing information about food incentives. #fooddonations #foodwaste #foodinsecurity #Billemersongoodsamaritonfooddonationslaw #barriersinfoododnations #foodincentives

Peat, soils apparently accumulate at 1mm per year. With that calculation it means that 1m of peat took approximately 1000 years to form. Peat is such an essential part of the ecosystem that the UK government has introduced a ban on the sale of bagged peat compost, which is popular very popular for container gardens due to its excellence water retention properties. The ban on all peat-based gardening products will be expected to take effect by 2030. It's time to look for sustainable alternatives and protect this essential resource.

Joining forces with outside-the-box thinkers can spark incredible outcomes by addressing longstanding issues with fresh perspectives. Our pioneering partnership tackling food insecurity, showcased in Feed America's impact report, serves as proof of what's possible when we break free from conventional approaches. I encourage you to embrace innovation and dare to try something new when traditional methods fall short. So, how can your organization partner with Tech Valley Shuttle? Together, let's make a difference beyond the boundaries of the expected. #Innovation #Impact #ThinkOutsideTheBox • • • • • • • • • #TechValleyShuttle #CommunityImpact #DrivingForGood #DrivenToWork #CommunityDriven #PeopleFirst #ConnectingCommunites #SecondChanceEmployer #BestPlacesToWork #TransitWithPurpose #ReducingRecidivism #CommunityService #MakingADifference #WorkForceDevelopment #EconomicDevelopment #FoodInsecurity #FeedingAmerica
