Voices From Our Donors

I’ve been actively involved with Food Shift for nearly a decade because I believe in their unique work at the hyperlocal intersection of food justice and climate action. They don’t just talk about food system change—they make it happen through mutual aid, tangible community impact, and a scrappy resilience. By staying true to their core values of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, they take the harder path—the one that truly uplifts people, strengthens local food systems, and creates real solutions.
