Helping the Food Insecure Around the Globe – One Meal at a Time
Food insecurity isn’t something any person or family should have to face
For tens of millions of people in America, a daily meal isn’t a choice between which restaurant to eat at. It’s a choice between food and other critical needs – like housing, medicine, or childcare.
CapRelo and its enterprise partners launched the JK Community Farm in 2018 to help those struggling with food insecurity, including children, senior citizens, families, and individuals. The 150-acre Community Farm is a non-profit that grows organic fruit, vegetables, and protein without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and features examples of sustainable agriculture, like a compost system, rainwater harvesting, and drip irrigation.
In 2020 the Community Farm donated over 147,000 pounds of fresh food to area food banks and pantries.
