Projects

A Whole Community, Inc. (AWC) assesses the needs of communities and develops sustainable projects that will meet multiple needs all within one project.

AWC’s Projects have the following goals:

1)  Increase fresh from the Farm, Local Produce (vegetables and fruits) provided to those in need at food pantries, free meal sites, recovery housing, low-income neighborhoods, and senior living communities

2)  Improve Nutrition (Recipes and nutrition education also provided)

3)  Reduce Food Waste (According to Guardian report 2016, roughly 50% of all produce in the United States is thrown away – some 60 million tons, $160 billion worth of produce annually, an amount constituting one third of all food)

4)  Assist local farmers with sustainability
