The @SocialFeed project is an innovative initiative designed to confront food insecurity. The hope of the first-of-its kind program is to collectively grow or donate 5,000 pounds of healthy produce (sweet potatoes) to Simi Valley food pantries. @SocialFeed might be best described as a city-wide “food mob” (like a “flash mob”).
Earlier this year, Youth Council and Community Garden volunteers distributed 3,000 complimentary plant-starts to attendees at the Simi Valley Street Fair and 2018 Expo. Those individuals and groups that received and planted the starts are being asked to harvest the sweet potatoes and bring them to one of the designated collections sites above. After all donations are received, the produce will be weighed and distributed to Simi Valley food pantries. For more information, please call the Youth Council Coordinator at (805) 583-6766.
@SocialFeed is a community action project of the “Garden of Dreams” community service initiative, founded by the Simi Valley Community Garden (Simi at the Garden). More information about the garden and the Garden of Dreams initiative can be found at: http://www.simiatthegarden.org.
