Local Group for Positive Change

A few months ago I learned about this amazing project here in Portland.

It's called the Winter Cache Project.

Here is their mission:

The mission of the Winter Cache Project (WCP) is to free ourselves from a dependence on industrial agriculture and to increase our community food security by developing sustainable local food systems. By growing and storing our own food to last throughout the winter and educating ourselves about agricultural issues, we aim to create a working example of how we can come together as a community to provide for our basic needs by employing the principles of mutual aid, equal access, and self-determination.

...and a little of how it works:

We are a community group striving for food security. We welcome all community members to contribute to the group, each in their own way. The food that we grow and store is re-distributed back to those who have contributed to the project. We are not a charity organization that gives food away for free. However, we do understand that not everyone is able to help out with the project and these people still deserve fresh and healthy food. We support and contribute organically grown vegetables to the efforts of other local community groups working to make positive social change.

How do you think our efforts as New Light might be similar or in line with the Winter Cache Project's activities?
