We are on a mission to create innovative projects to address unmet needs, promote vibrant communities, and preserve the character of the Adirondacks.
We have nine active projects that have three things in common: they address unmet needs, promote vibrant communities, and preserve the character of the Adirondacks.
AdkAction has partnered with the Hub on the Hill to create Emergency Food Packages that contain one week’s worth of meals. We received a grant for $7000 from Adirondack Foundation’s Special and Urgent Needs Fund to kick off this initiative.
The goal of the Adirondack Compost for Good project is to help Adirondack communities turn food and other organic “wastes” into high-quality compost. This process keeps nutrients in the community, which builds local resilience, heals soils, and helps reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
Local food has innumerable benefits, yet not everyone has easy access in our communities. The Farmacy Project works to make local food easier to find, buy, and eat, even when other grocery options are not available.
Members are the lifeblood of AdkAction, generating ideas, inspiration, passion, and financial support to make our projects possible. Members pay annual fees that keep our work going, and in return, receive the pride of taking action to improve the Adirondacks for future generations.
Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, food service and transportation staff have been critical to school children maintaining access to the same types of meals they were used to getting in school. Meals have been delivered to students’ homes rather than served
Local Community Solar Project to Create 10 Acres of Pollinator Habitat Saranac Lake residents will soon have a local source of clean energy for the community and surrounding areas. The Saranac Lake Community Solar farm will provide homeowners, renters and businesses with the benefits of solar energy without the cost
We are sparking a composting revolution in the Adirondacks.
We have a vision to empower people in the Adirondacks – both seasonal and year-round – to create opportunities to help neighbors and leave the Adirondack Park better than we found it. Visit our blog to learn more about our work.
