As the Program Director, I have been inspired by the generosity of our community partners such as Portland Nursery, New Seasons Market, Sauvie Island Organics, Housing Authority of Portland, Metro, the United Way of the Columbia Willamette and others who share time and resources to support the vision of the youth. It takes a village....thank you so very much! Peggy and Rebecca,

We have found gardening and food a great forum for teaching other life skills too (leadership, community involvement, food system awareness, job & business skills) Great to see what you are doing too!

I was telling them now that on future resumes they can claim to have been a part of an "internationally known" program! I love the way this story is getting around... Rebecca,

You are awesome! Peggy, This group of folks is so inspiring. They put so much of themselves into what they do. And what great results, all around. Thanks for your help, and I'm looking forward to your article in ediblePortland! Karol, Wow! That's wonderful =) Thanks for sharing it, and letting me know. By others seeing what Food Works does, perhaps something like their program could evolve in other communities. It is another example of a win-win situation and building a local food economy. Tricia, Yes, it's phenomenal the results that occur when you begin to learn where your food comes from. This is something many of us, as Americans, have gotten away from in the last 30-40 years. It's great to see a surge to return to some of the ways and rules of thumb of our 'grandmothers'. I would love to hear what comes of any of your future volunteer efforts! Jean Ann, thanks so much for support. You are awesome!

What Food Works does is a major part of why I do what I do - helping people to learn about where their food comes from is so important. I would love to start volunteering with FW after seeing this.

See? I'm doing it again! What I mean is, thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a fine tribute to such a fine program.
