The KUAF Giving Tree is up, it's lit and it's waiting for your much needed support for those in this area who are suffering food insecurity. This season, we're teaming up with Tri Cycle Farms whose mission is to grow community through soil as they steward food awareness, education, and empowerment. Tri Cycle envisions a world of food security, sovereignty, and sustainability for all. The Tri Cycle Farms’ distribution program has been in operation for about 4 years delivering food and resources to community members, nonprofit food pantries and meal programs across Washington County, currently delivering an average of over 430 pounds of food per day to partnering organizations. You can help out by dropping off your non-perishable food items here at KUAF – 9 South School in Fayetteville – and we'll get it to Tri Cycle Farms. Each Friday of December, we'd like to deliver them a full load of food, so we'll need a lot of help from our generous listeners. KUAF Public Radio and the Giving Tree – local matters.
