New Roots

I love supporting these folks! Being part of an organization that helps farmers and folks in food-insecure areas get together is wonderful. The food is great and I love giving back to the community.

Some years ago when I started to eke my way out of poverty I got some good advice about donating time and money to nonprofits, and it went something like this. Get involved with a few causes that you are passionate about, become intimate with the strategy and impact those nonprofits make, and then not only will you be invested in those causes, you won't ever have to wonder where that time and money goes.I'm delighted to be able to say I have an 11-year history with New Roots and I see every year how gutsy and passionate and impactful this little operation is. The chieftain, Karyn, is a one-person wrecking crew who has a knack for finding a way to keep this thing going, but she's also learned to recruit a great band of impassioned acolytes to keep the cause afloat. In short, New Roots connects local farmers to lower income communities, the sort that the Krogers don't want to serve, and they promote and subsidize healthy eating throughout the entire growing season. New Roots has grown and flourished, survived a pandemic, and has served the underserved dating back to the time when Louisville had just a couple of small farmer's markets. Me? Yeah, I've given a lot of time and a little money to the cause, but that's only a small thing compared to all the great fresh veggies and tremendous community engagement I've enjoyed in return.I can't think of a better review to write on a #ThankYouThursday.
