Seeking solutions to difficult problems:
The Jamie Kirk Hahn Foundation is working with the Raleigh-Wake Partnership to End and Prevent Homelessness and local group, Clark’s Promise, to host the Fresh Food Challenge. The initiative is seeking ideas from community groups and individuals on how to get fruits and vegetables to the homeless and others who can’t afford it. The winner will receive $25,000 to work the plan.
“This is the best example of work I know Jamie would have done,” Nation Hahn, co-founder and board president of the Jamie Kirk Hahn Foundation, said of the Fresh Food Challenge.
I've been following their work to develop urban vegetable gardens, something that can transform the lives (and neighborhoods) of inner-city folks. But this project has the potential to get a lot of healthy foods into the hands that really need it. Needless to say, it's a worthy cause that could use your support.
