Neighborhood Food Swap
Hi everyone!
This week I would like to discuss Food Swapping. This is something that people back in the day used to do as a community. Nowadays, if you say "hello" to someone on the street they tend to look at you nervously like " What do you want?"
I am trying to bring back a sense of community that was once so prominent. In my city I am started a New Age Food Swap. This will incorporate the food and appliances that you no longer need or use as well as an educational piece.
There are a lot of people/families that are unable to get food stamps and have to go to food banks. What does this mean? This means that the families that are getting food from the pantries and food banks usually get some things that they don't eat or don't know how to cook/prepare.
This is where the New Age Food Swap comes in!
How it works:
-Clean out your
kitchen
-Bring food,
appliances and cookware you no longer need/use
-Put them on
designated tables
-Take whatever
food or kitchen ware that you need
-Thank your
fellow community members and head home!
If you are at all interested in posting your Food Swap on this Facebook Page please feel free to do so. I would love to build this community event in other areas and have a place where we can all share ideas!
CHEERS!
