Hamilton County Resource is excited about the opportunity to meet in person with leaders from faith community organizations in Hamilton and surrounding counties. They want to know if houses of worship would like to partner in their new, green, waste reduction project to divert residential and commercial food scraps from the landfill. To achieve this, Hamilton County Resource is initiating a regional approach to composting infrastructure with locations across the counties along with conveniently located facilities to boost participation from residents and businesses. They welcome involvement of houses of worship and other organizations to participate as public-private composting facilities throughout the region. Your participation and input are vital to the success of this initiative.

There are many preliminary evaluations and approvals necessary to identify sites that will be explained the in-person March 5th meeting.

To gain a better understanding of the project, how they got to this point, and what’s next, PLEASE watch the 30-minute webinar from February 12th

A conversation about how food insecurity affects our community and what we can do about it. This workshop will explore the root causes of hunger, how TOPSS has grown beyond a traditional food pantry to address the complex factors that lead to food insecurity and the critical role that community connections play in this work. Discover how individuals, faith communities, and local partners can support efforts to keep our neighbors housed, clothed, and fed—because lasting change starts from the ground up.

In this virtual program, our guest speaker will inform us about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) signed into law in 2022. The IRA program is designed to save American households money while reducing climate change and air pollution. It contains cost-saving incentives for adding energy upgrades in your home such as, heat pumps, efficient air conditioners, insulation, windows, and doors, as well as solar electricity generation, solar water heating, and battery storage, among other technologies. We will discuss tax credits, rebates, and grant/loan programs available to individuals now through 2032. As always, we will provide our audience with a Toolkit of resources on this topic. Please Register to attend this program and learn how you can lower your utility bills, while you help care for Mother Earth!
