Insights from Our Community Leaders

“It’s been impossible not to hear and see how increasing inflation is affecting those we know in our community. With new children at home myself, I feel for the painful challenges faced by those parents struggling to afford the rising cost of what their family needs.

Supporting the Greener Village was one step I could take to lend my support – the Greener Village knows where the need is, and this project will use their resources to provide support more effectively, in a way that provides a long term solution, rather than trying to apply patches.”

“Being in the retail food industry, I am keenly aware of the impacts rapidly rising food prices and the cost of living have on our community. I live it every single day. My business has focused our charitable giving on food insecurity and school meal programs – initiatives addressing urgent needs. This focus has brought us closer to Greener Village and their great work, and given us deep appreciation for their proposed expansion of food rescue efforts. The need is critical, and this project offers hope for the future. That’s why I jumped at the chance to join the Thrive Campaign.”
