Dear friends and supporters,

Thank you to all who responded to our last newsletter asking you to help out by donating to the Recovery Kitchen in Hudson. We collectively made an approx. $3000 impact! Absolutely awesome coming from our supporters with love. Thank you!

Standing in solidarity for equitable food access. With the backdrop of the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on people of color, the pain, suffering, and anger resulting from the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and many others have touched every neighborhood in our country. We can all do much better if we can keep working together towards systemic change. Healthy food equity is an important part of this conversation.

We've been keeping our spirits high working hard this last month to advance two more initiatives aimed at increasing equitable access to local food in response to COVID-19.

Take care, reach out, and please stay well.

Standing in Solidarity for equitable food access.
PBInc is providing fiscal sponsorship and guidance for the Grow In Harmony Community Garden of Kinderhook, a COVID-19 response initiative developing a large garden to provide fresh, organically grown, nutrient-dense food for persons experiencing food insecurity due to loss of income, quarantine, or short supply at their usual market. The project is linked to the Columbia County Recovery Kitchen in Hudson, and Columbia County Sanctuary Movement addressing food shortages by supplying meals for families affected by COVID-19.
Annabel's Victory Garden
This is the type of kitchen garden we are aiming to build as an expansion of Annabel's 2014 garden project by the Philmont based Girl Scout Troop 1800 Bronze Award on the Co-op site to now become Annabel's Victory Garden.
Standing in Solidarity for equitable food access.

On the drawing board to build that garden as a PBInc program project in collaboration with the Philmont Co-op Food Equitable Access group to provide 10 garden beds aimed at teaching and growing in a beautiful vegetable garden.
