Hey y'all!! We've been loving all the produce donations from home gardens and community gardens🥗💚 Fresh produce is so abundant this time of year and we're thankful people are sharing with their neighbors. One request we have is for the produce to be bagged or rubber banded together. (check out the second slide for an example)
Leaving loose kale, collards or other greens leaves, herbs, loose mushrooms etc. can accidentally be more harmful than helpful. Many times produce has been ending up scattered on the ground, they get squashed in the fridges, and it causes a mess leaving us more susceptible to critters🪰🦝
Putting small produce or leafy greens/herbs in small paper bags or freezer bags, or even just a simple rubber band really helps! The bags also make it easier to label what the produce is so neighbors can identify it easier. If you're in need of bags just send us a message! We always have some to spare in our volunteer boxes 🥬🍇🥕 thanks so much!! Happy Friday 🎉

The Green Iglu team finally got to meet in person!!
Recently, the team spent 4 days carrying out a series of workshops and meetings together. It was awesome being able to interact face to face with no time limits on conversations!
Our team has been incredibly efficient working remotely, however, meeting in person allowed us to share more stories, experiences, and ideas than ever before – we learned so much from one another in so little time. Plus, we got to prepare for a busy summer of community builds!
Stay tuned to learn more about what we got up to during our time together, along with updates on the upcoming food sovereignty projects happening this summer!
P.S. We hope to meet many of you in person, too!

📣 COST OF EATING CRISIS 📣
.
Last week food campaigner & chef @jack_monroe 's tweets about the rising cost of budget food staples caused a media storm - and rightly so! 💯
.
The rising cost of food - and other living essentials - fuel, energy (50% plus rise!), accommodation, NI contributions - is frankly terrifying. ⛔
.
With so many households across the UK already relying on food support services, the impact of these price hikes on just managing households will be cataclysmic.
.
If you shop in a supermarket and buy mainly budget items, your weekly shopping bill spend that could previously feed your household for a week, will now feed you for half a week. If you're lucky. This will bring more hunger, more suffering, more ill health & more inequality.
.
The fact that the same levels of inflation are not being applied to more luxury food items says it all. We really aren't, and never have been in it together.
.
How have rising food prices affected you? What do you think should be done about this? We want to hear from you. 📣
.
PS- Jack Monroe you legend! It's not easy putting yourself out there on social media. We see and appreciate you!

💗THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT 💗
.
In the excitement and adrenalin of a crowdfunder what we're doing and why can get lost. THIS right here is what it's all about. 🌮
.
It's about our neighbours, our friends, our family, our elders - us - all being able to get the support we need when times are hard. 🍲
.
It's about being a safety net that the government should provide but don't. Catching people for a few weeks - or years - until things get better. 💗
.
There's pernicious but untrue ideas that when support is on offer opportunists jump in who don't really need it. Or that if you provide support to one group, you're somehow taking away from another. ⛔
.
These are distraction narratives to stop people coming together to demand change. To stop us asking the real & most important questions about why there's so much inequality in the UK in the first place.
😡
.
We need to ask these questions of our MPs, our Councillors & the businesses we give our money too. But while we're seeking answers and much needed change, we need to be there for each other. 💗
.
12 hours on the #noonegoeshungry2022 crowdfunder to provide 70,000 meals in 2022 to our community. Let's do this people. 🤩
