Helping fight food insecurity!

For the 2022-2023 League year we continue to focus on Food Insecurity in our community, we are focused on an area of South Bend, which is outside of the downtown reach. We are partnering with St. Paul Lutheran Church to build a self-service community garden and provide 7 monthly To-Go Meals for the families who are in need.

For the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 League Years,  we have awarded money to Unity Garden to support their Edgy Veggie vehicle to provide access to free and fresh produce, offer educational sessions to children, and provide food demonstrations. They expect to reach more than 400 children in their first year! This project will be multi-year (2), as JLSB wants to have a long-lasting impact and relationship as the program develops and implementation begins.
