Project Full Plate-Staying Connecting

Due to COVID 19 our WAVE AG Day was cancelled for July 2020.  In order to stay connected to our communities the group started Project Full Plate.  During the 2020 year, families and businesses have all been struggling.  The Four-River WAVE Ag group wanted to show the families they could lend a hand. To replace our annual WAVE Ag Day, the group asked agribusinesses and other local businesses to come alongside the organization and help connect producers with consumers.

Local businesses were very supportive of this idea, contributing over $6,000 to the program. This enabled the WAVE Ag group to go directly to local producers and our farmers markets, buy produce that they were struggling to sell, and distribute the product straight to our local food banks and senior citizens centers.

There has been tremendous feedback from the program, and the group is working on this through the winter months until fresh produces becomes available again.
