Ending Hunger Corps Maine Meat & Food Justice VISTA 2024
 
 
 
The activities of the VISTA member will help disrupt the cycle of poverty by increasing access to nutritious, culturally appropriate local foods for low income families within ethnically based recent immigrant and refugee communities in Maine through building a stronger local food economy that creates training, income, and employment opportunities in the local meat value chain. The VISTA will build capacity for infrastructure development, marketing and communications, training opportunities, and fundraising efforts related to CCFSC’s Maine Meat Initiative (MMI).
