Food Justice: Growing a Healthier Community through Art<\/em> opens this Friday, and since September is also Hunger Action Month, we thought it was the perfect time to share a bit about our Community Partner, 412 Food Rescue. Read on for an interview with Sara Swaney, VP of Advancement and Engagement at 412 Food Rescue, where she discusses how 412 Food Rescue is working to build a better, more equitable food system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, tell us how what originally inspired you to become involved with 412 Food Rescue? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout my professional career, I have always been drawn to roles that enable me to support the community where I live. Whether it was working in a community affairs role at a corporation or at a nonprofit where I was helping to advance our mission and provide essential services, I am most fulfilled when providing service to others. This is one of the many reasons that inspired me to become involved with 412 Food Rescue, along with my personal belief that no one should ever have to worry about how they will feed themselves or their family, especially when there is so much perfectly good food that is otherwise discarded. Now being part of this amazing team, I am inspired each day by everyone involved in this work to support the mission – businesses that donate, individuals that volunteer, partners that help us distribute food – it truly takes a community to make it work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
