How Food Donation is Transforming Detroit

We can end food insecurity.  Roughly 24 MILLION PEOPLE in the United States alone don't have enough fresh food to eat. Kim Buffington is committed to doing something about it. About 14 years ago, Kim’s life changed. She made a choice to start a new path focused on serving the people of Detroit with food as her foundation. Through her nonprofit, Eden Gives, Kim is bringing fresh food to families who need it. With an ambitious vision for the future of Eden Gives, Kim plans to transform her community through urban farming, local alliances, and fresh food grown on the same block as the customers it feeds. Listen for ways you can support Eden Gives' mission, and connect with local food programs in your community.

CHALLENGE: Sit down and consider what you possess – skills, talents, resources, food, or anything – and how what you have could make a difference in someone else’s life. Make a list. Choose one thing from your list and take one action toward making your impact a reality.

TAKEAWAYS: 1: Food is ESSENTIAL, and when we transform how communities relate to food we transform those communities. 2: There is POWER in supporting local community solutions to local community problems. 3: We can all MAKE CHANGE by recognizing what’s “in our hands” – whatever it is that we have to offer - and offering it.
