Abstract

Project proposals from Willy’s Variety Store, Shires Housing, and Project Against Violent Encounters (PAVE) were selected among applications from community members to Bennington College’s Community Resource and Strategy Fund. This fund supports catalyzing, collaborative projects that further understanding of local food systems and leverage innovative solutions to address food insecurity in Bennington County. The Community Resource and Strategy Fund is made possible by the College’s $1 million, three-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
