Today we are shedding light on something positive that has come out of the pandemic - The Farmlink Project. Back in March, a group of college students saw an opportunity to serve their communities and they acted upon it. Now, students from Brown University, Stanford University, Cornell University and more have come together to reduce food waste and feed people in need. The Farmlink Project is a nonprofit organization that connects farms with food banks. To date, they have rescued 10,000,000 pounds of food which equates to over 7,000,000 meals. Jaiko had the honor of speaking with Mitzi Harris, the leader of the fundraising team. We talk about the origin of The Farmlink Project, their mission to reduce food waste and hunger, and how the organization has inspired the entire country during a time of hardship for so many. Learn more about The Farmlink Project online at https://thefarmlinkproject.org/. You can also find them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
