If you are interested in knowing how LFC runs behind the scenes, this blog lists of some accomplishments and activities for one day. To protect the confidentiality of our clients and some of our colleagues, we do not list every activity in these posts. Also, some activities are too boring to include – such as purchasing stamps at the post office! Even though this blog is written by LFC’s Executive Director, Laura, the work described is done by many people and volunteers. All photographs are copyrighted and not for public use.
1. Contacted the Iowa City AM Rotary to inquire about details of the grant recently awarded to LFC and about related requirements. LFC was awarded a $1,500 “Community Grant.” We did not apply for this grant. Their members nominated organizations that they thought were doing especially well at meeting the basic human needs of the community.
2. Continued discussion with Matthew 25 Ministry Hub in Cedar Rapids about their enrollment in Local Foods Connection this year. The focus of Matthew 25’s work after the 2008 flood in Cedar Rapids turned to helping their community rebuild. You can learn more about their passionate work here:
3. Cleaned office.
4. Worked on a draft of the text for the poster and press release of the upcoming Iowa City CSA Fair.
