#Massachusetts - #GrowFood #Northampton raises more than $1M for #AtRrisk communities
Namu Sampath, Thu, July 24, 2025
NORTHAMPTON — "#GrowFoodNorthampton is growing.
"The local food and #farming justice group has raised over $1 million for an effort to increase support for vulnerable community members, it said in a statement.
"The money will go toward providing more #FreshFoods to families experiencing hunger, will establish #CommunityGardens at #LowIncome housing sites, will support #LocalFarms and #gardeners, and will go toward implementation of #ClimateResilience measures.
" 'All of these efforts are critical right now due to drastic #FederalCuts to local food and farming programs, the ongoing #ClimateCrisis, and ever-growing #inequities in the local food system and beyond,' the statement said.
"The fundraising effort began late last year. There was an 'outpouring of support,' and the financial goal was met ahead of schedule, the group said.
"The organization will still accept donations through the rest of the summer, and supporters can opt to add their names to a campaign contributors list, which will be installed at the Community Garden in Florence.
"The organization also said it would accept non-monetary support from the community.
" 'Community members are invited to attend summer events, share the campaign with friends and family, and volunteer their time,' the statement said."

Interesting story on the causes of #healthinequities - all the determinants mentioned below are caused by #racism so if we are serious about #inequities, why don’t we start by identifying and eliminating #racism at all levels? That is what we need. @ushamcfarling https://www.statnews.com/2023/07/27/health-disparities-national-academies-federal-government/

“‘The history of the scientific enterprise demonstrates that it has supported gender, identity, and racial inequity. Further, its institutions have allowed discrimination, harassment, and personal harm of racialized persons and women.’”
