Beckford’s spirit remains very much with us at the Food Shuttle today as we celebrate Black History Month and continue to make child hunger a high priority in our work. Join us in giving a nod to Ruth Beckford for her leadership in recognizing that no child should have to deal with hunger as they strive to learn and grow. 

Did you know that Inter-Faith Food Shuttle can help you build a raised-bed garden box? Growing your own produce at home is an excellent way to ensure your family has access to fresh, healthy food throughout the year at an affordable cost. Besides providing you with a nutritious harvest, the process of gardening also promotes physical exercise and mental relaxation. The Food Shuttle’s Gardens for Everyone program can help you get started. 

For many of us, January brings new year's resolutions and renewed commitments to improve ourselves and our community. This year, you have the opportunity to make a positive change in both your life and our community by becoming an Inter-Faith Food Shuttle Cultivator!  

“As we grow forward, we will continue to meet the needs of our neighbors, advocate for change, and speak on behalf of those that feel unheard. Our continued collaborative focus remains on improving access to healthy, nutritious foods, educational experiences that empower, and training that leads to better lives for our neighbors. Thank you for your continued support and belief in our shared vision of a hunger-free community.” - L. Ron Pringle, President and CEO, and Kurt Heusner, Chair of IFFS Board of Directors
