SUMMARY:Youth Food Champion Awards at Bates MLK Day

The presentation takes place at 1:15pm in Pettengill Hall Room G21 during the annual Martin Luther King Jr Day Observance at Bates College\, the theme of which this year is “Food & Food Justice”. \nThe presentation will begin with the Good Food Council of Lewiston-Auburn’s annual Youth Food Champion Awards which will honor and celebrate the individual contributions toward a healthy local food system in alignment with the Lewiston Auburn Community Food Charter of the 2023 winners:  Brayden Nadeau (Auburn)\, Houda Aden (Lewiston)\, Isha Kasai (Lewiston)\, and Odivio Mariano (Lewiston)!   Ranging in age from 13 to 25\, the 2023 winners demonstrate incredible leadership as food systems changemakers:  from growing food for their community and sharing their experiential knowledge with local elected officials about the potential impact of land use decisions on the future of local agriculture\, to facilitating meaningful opportunities for their peers to engage with their food system while their deepening cultural and cross-generational connections\, and much more! The awards will be followed by a talk with Q&A with Scarlet Labbe-Watson\, a young member of Maine Youth for Climate Justice (MCJ)\, who will discuss Maine’s food sovereignty and climate justice connections.   Reserve free tickets here! \nWe invite you to also check out all the other incredible educational and arts based programming with the “food & food justice” theme in honor of MLK’s legacy being offered free to the community that day. \nOur Thanks To: \n\nPresenting Sponsors of the 2023 Youth Food Champion Awards:   Bangor Savings Bank\, Double Z Farms\, & St. Mary’s Nutrition Center  |  Featured Sponsor:  Austin Associates\, PA\nBusiness Contributors to Prize Package for Youth Winners:   Bangor Savings Bank\, OTTO Pizza Auburn\, & Flagship Cinemas

SUMMARY:Glean with Us!
DESCRIPTION:Come lend a hand\, help a farmer\, connect with community members\, and have some fun!  All are welcome to join us and the Androscoggin Gleaners as we harvest vegetables to reduce food waste and increase access to good food at Whiting Farm in Auburn!   This is a great activity for families\, work teams\, youth groups\, and any interested individual. \nWhat is gleaning?  Gleaning is the act of collecting leftover crops from a farmers’ fields after they have been commercially harvested or on fields where it is not economically profitable to harvest. Gleaning helps to save fruits and vegetables from becoming food waste\, and can help increase access to good food when gleaned produce is donated to a food pantry – which is what we will be doing with all our gleaned food!  Gleaners will often help with other farm tasks as requested to maintain the reciprocal relationship of generosity. Whiting Farm has a new program this year called ‘5 Fields for Families’ in which 5 acres of crops are all grown to be donated to food insecure families. \nOn October 6th\, please bring: \n\nLayered clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather\, and that which you don’t mind getting dirt/muddy\nWork gloves if you have them\nFull water bottle\n\nRSVP is requested\, but not required.  We hope you can join us! \n \nThe Androscoggin Gleaners are a local group of volunteers started in 2018 that on a regular basis during the harvest season coordinate with local farmers\, food pantries\, and volunteers like YOU to set up gleans in the local region. Want to learn more? Connect with the Androscoggin Gleaners on Facebook\, by email: androgleaners@gmail.com\, or by phone: 207-370-1061.
