Your Food Connection
Your Food Connection
Experiencing the Power and Symbolism of Food to Connect, Transform and Empower. Food is a crucial link to feeling inner peace, and general emotional, and physical wellbeing. How we grow, learn, how we feel is all tied to the food we eat. For some the absence of fresh quality food, is more challenging. Food has the power to bring people together, and to divide. Food quality directly influences learning and general health. Sharing food can convey gratitude, kinship, acceptance, comfort and love.
The Green Seedling Magazine
As part of the YOUR FOOD CONNECTION INITIATIVE, PEACE through PIE, as a Community Partner with Beauty's Community Garden, produced the Green Seedling Magazine. The magazine was created, as part of a two year grant project, running (9/2021 - 9/2023). This project supported the Acres Homes Community in Houston Texas. It was part of a Be Well™ Acres Homes initiative of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Under PVAMU's fiscal sponsorship, PEACE through PIE, as Beauty's Community Garden's Community Partner Organization, was able to create and produce the magazine for the grant.
