The fresh fruits or vegetables you harvest at a gleaning, will reach the tables of hungry families in your community within 24-48 hours. Your efforts matter and share great nutrition AND hope for a better tomorrow.
Dear Southwest Ohio Faith Leaders,

My organization is a gleaning organization. We have been working with Miami University’s Institute for Food farm since fall of 2019, gleaning on a weekly basis throughout the harvest season. They have been a wonderful and generous partner, and the vast majority of their donations have remained within Butler County, distributed by TOPSS Pantry, Army of Kindness, and JEE Foods. TOPSS and Army of Kindness are this year’s recipients.It is a rare opportunity to be invited to a farm on a weekly basis, as the MUIFF has done. (Most of our gleanings are one-off events that arise when growers find they have a surplus that needs to be harvested before they plow it under.) Lately, we are having a particular challenge finding enough volunteers to show up, each week, as many of our past regulars are otherwise engaged, this season, and most students are away for the summer. I am reaching out to request your help in spreading the word about this wonderful weekly volunteer opportunity right in Oxford. I’m attaching a flier for posting or sharing electronically. Folks can also register as a volunteer at https://endhunger.org/ohio/, then find the event dates they want to sign up for. (Please note that we ask folks to sign up via our volunteer platform. It’s important that no one just shows up unannounced at an event, in consideration of the farm and the growers. We send specific instructions for where and when to meet, and any other requirements, the evening prior to each gleaning.)We are looking to fill up to 10 volunteer spots in a 3-hour shift on Wednesday mornings, 9-12. We are currently scheduled into November. The food we glean is some of the freshest available, and gets distributed to individuals to rarely otherwise have access to it. Our volunteers love the work and their time on the farm. I am more than happy to field any questions you have about this, via email or phone (see below).
Thank you for your time!

The 27th annual Rubber Duck Regatta is underway, and we hope you’ll be a part of this longstanding tristate tradition.

It’s our one-of-a-kind event when every duck you purchase can provide 15 meals to hungry kids in our community—and put you in the running for some amazing prizes.

The pandemic has led to an increased number of children—now up to 90,000—facing hunger in our community. The need remains urgent, and each one of your hunger-fighting ducks can help.

We have lots of quack-tastic packages, including this year’s special Freestore50 Quack Pack—buy 10 ducks, get 2 free—in honor of Freestore’s 50th anniversary.

In addition, your duck purchase of $50+ earns you a unique 2021 Rubber Duck Regatta t-shirt (while supplies last) so don’t delay!

Join us—buy a duck and feed a child today!

YWCA STAND AGAINST RACISM panel discussion

May 27th – 9:00 to 10:00 am

Join us as we explore and discuss local health disparities and policy efforts you can support!

Centuries of structural racism in our country have had a profound negative impact on communities of color, affecting people’s access to quality housing, education, food, transportation, political power, and other social determinants of health. In response, Cincinnati and Hamilton County have both officially declared racism a public health crisis. This is a powerful first step!

Understanding and addressing systemic racism from this public health perspective is crucial to eliminating racial and ethnic inequities, and to improving opportunity and well-being across communities. Our local experts will provide a clearer understanding and tools you can use to work toward a more equitable world.
