Food Security

Food from small-scale sustainable local farms is out of reach– both economically and physically– for the many food insecure households in the Adirondacks. AdkAction is fighting food insecurity with multiple programs aimed at overcoming distinct hurdles. We are launching micro-groceries to alleviate rural food access issues. We provide free seasonal farm shares or easy to use local food stipends to families in need. In all programs we emphasize dignity for participants and support of our local sustainable farms.

We work with the Compost for Good team of volunteers to promote their education, outreach, technical support, and research in community composting. AdkAction is the fiscal sponsor of Placid Earth, a student-driven compost business.
