Visionary Project Cultivates Connection
On August 1, the Foodbank celebrated the dedication and inaugural harvest of Izzie’s Field, an initiative aimed at increasing the availability of fresh produce to our community while also supporting the hardworking and generous spirit of a local grower.We paid tribute to the late Izzie Brown, our former Grants Manager, whose passionate grant-writing efforts made this initiative a reality. As we embarked on this venture, it demanded a level of creativity and initiative that went beyond the traditional scope of grant writing. With her unique vision and resourcefulness, she navigated uncharted territory, crafting a successful grant proposal to Kroger that captured the essence of our mission and the significance of this project. It is with great pride that we dedicate this farm to her memory, ensuring her legacy lives on through our work to combat hunger in our community.
