MMU Crew Explores Local Food Security Movements
The VYCC’s MMU School Crew recently learned about food security movements in Vermont. Students visited the Richmond Elementary School and the Richmond Food Shelf to learn about efforts to provide fresh food to individuals and families who are food insecure. During their visits, students learned that the school and the food shelf receive food from local businesses and farms, including Jericho Settlers Farm, On the Rise, and the VYCC’s Monitor Barns Farm. With the community’s help, students and individuals who rely on the food shelf are able to cook healthier and fresher food.
After learning about these movements, the crew wrote a newspaper article for the monthly local newspaper Times Ink! Under the supervision of two VYCC Crew Leaders, students were responsible for writing, proofreading, and designing the article. It was then published in the paper’s May edition!
