Celebrating Richard Taylor

Congratulations to Richard Taylor, a long-time advocate for eliminating food insecurity, who recently received the Martha's Vineyard Museum Medal. He was honored along with two other recipients for his "outstanding commitment to preserving the history, arts, and culture of the Island.

"He told the crowd that food insecurity on the Island currently tops his list of concerns. 'Nobody should be without food,' he said. 'Housing is much more complicated, and while I agree with that, we can solve food.' Mr. Taylor has raised thousands of dollars for the Island Food Pantry and urged the audience to join him in the cause, stressing that the issue is far from solved. 'I will use this award as inspiration to continue the work I do,' he concluded." Read more here.
