Our students will learn that supporting local means far more than buying fresh produce, bread and bakery products, or a delicious meal – it is a personal, tangible investment in the growth and nurturing of people in their own community who demonstrate the daily courage it takes to overcome health and economic problems. We hope to inspire businesses and residents in our community to learn how they can play an active role in community healing – to become part of the solution by banding together and supporting businesses that support our efforts .  Please contact us to see how you can become a student, volunteer or support this program that is offered to students.
