I’m Raising Funds for the NWI Food Council!

I’m excited to share some love for the nonprofit where I currently serve as the Executive Board Treasurer — the NWI Food Council.

The Food Council works to promote local farm viability and expand access to healthy, locally grown food across Northwest Indiana. This important work strengthens our local economy, protects our environment, and supports our collective health.

At a time when funding for organizations like the Food Council is being reduced, I’m asking for your help. Every dollar you give makes a real difference for our local small farmers, food-insecure neighbors, and vulnerable community members — like seniors and first-time mothers — who benefit directly from this work.

Why It Matters

When you give to NWI Food Council, you’re not just making a donation — you’re joining a movement.

💚 A movement that believes in the healing power of food.
💚 A movement that ensures neighbors are fed with dignity.
💚 A movement that uplifts farmers and strengthens our local economy.

Together, we can transform hunger, health, and hope in our community.

How You Can Help

✅ Donate — Every contribution, no matter the size, moves us closer to our $10,000 organizational goal and to my $1,000 personal goal.
✅ Share this campaign — Tell your friends, family, and colleagues why local food matters and invite them to give.

Your Support Builds a Stronger Food System

With your help, the NWI Food Council can continue:

🌾 Supporting local small farmers to thrive and grow.
Increasing food access for low-income families and seniors.
🌍 Building a resilient regional food system that benefits growers and consumers alike.

Together, we can cultivate a more just, sustainable, and connected local food community.

Will you help me reach my $1,000 goal and make a lasting impact in Northwest Indiana?

Thank you for caring about local food, community, and a stronger future for Northwest Indiana.
