WHERE WE GROW FOR GOOD
Richmond Food Rescue US
Fill plates. Not landfills.
Food waste remains one of the top solutions to global warming. Currently, food waste contributes 8 percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions.
Using our web-based app, we engage volunteers to transfer fresh food surpluses from local businesses to social service agencies serving the food insecure.

7 Directions of Service
7 Directions of Service (7DS) was founded by Indigenous activists Crystal Cavalier-Keck and Jason Crazy Bear Keck on Crystal's ancestral Occaneechi-Saponi lands, the rural Piedmont region of North Carolina. 7 Directions began as a culture class and youth program, and has grown into a regional grassroots mobilization platform. Everything changed when Crystal and Jason learned that a pipeline was slated to go through their backyard and they began dedicating their lives to resisting, building coalitions and creating campaigns to support the working-class and farming families located along the proposed route. Today, the pipeline is on its last breath.

Charlottesville Food Not Bombs
Charlottesville Food Not Bombs features many dedicated volunteers who collect perishable foods and pantry items that would otherwise go to waste from grocery stores, bakeries, and farmers markets and gives them back to the community. We strive to share food, skills, ideas, and conversation.
Richmond Food Not Bombs
Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer global movement that shares free vegetarian and vegan meals as a protest against war and poverty. Our ideology is corporate and government priorities are skewed. There is no need to allow hunger to persist in the midst of abundance. Each chapter collects surplus food that would otherwise go to waste from grocery stores, bakeries, markets, and local farmers. Then we prepare community meals which are served for free to anyone who wants to eat. We do not pass judgment about food access or poverty levels
Project B.L.A.C.C.
Concerned Citizens of Charles City County (C5) works to inform and educate county residents of issues facing the county. This group was originally formed in response to the multiple power plants proposed for the county--with limited involvement from residents.
C5 strives to become a source of empowerment for the community within the environmental sector and economic community base for the county.
Casa Alma
Say something interesting about your
Casa Alma is a Catholic Worker community and all-volunteer non-profit located on .6 acres in a diverse neighborhood in the city of Charlottesville. We host a community house for resident volunteers and two houses of hospitality for homeless and low-income families. Our guests are typically African-American or Latina single parent families who live onsite for up to two years. Guests leverage a more stable future by paying down debt and saving funds for future housing.
Surrounding the houses, we cultivate a shared urban homestead which includes extensive gardens, a mini-orchard, berry patch, rainwater catchment, a flock of laying chickens, miniature dairy goats, and honeybees. We garden and care for backyard animals not only to provide healthy food for guest families and resident volunteers, but also to inspire people to connect to the abundance of the land.
