Welcome to Food for All. We are excited to share our mission of fighting food insecurity on campus with you. 

If you are a returning student, you may recognize us from Impact Week, the Values in Action award, the opening of the Sadler Food exchange, swipe drive, and our food deliveries.

To better explain what Food for All is accomplishing on campus, we are hosting our first interest meeting THIS THURSDAY 9/7/23 at 6:00! Come have some snacks and leave with a new FFA buddy. Location is Chancellors Hall #134!

Join us in solving important problems on campus, building community, and doing impactful service. I promise that you’ll find something worthwhile through the FFA community.  

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

We hope everyone’s week has started off on a good foot. We are in the final weeks of our semester! 

The Sadler Food Exchange is OPEN!! Its hours will match that of the Sadler building, and it is located in room 157, which is next to the Haven. Please make sure to share the word of this new resource with your classmates and community members. 

This Wednesday (4/19) we will be having elections @6 in Boswell Hall 1. This is our last general body meeting of the semester. If you’re interested in running for a position, please fill out this “intent to run” form. For elections, each candidate will have a 1 minute to speak to the group and votes will be done on paper. https://forms.gle/DHsHNCTtEbrLiZuR9

We also need volunteers to join us for tabling on April 22 for the Student Assembly Earth Day Bash (https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4CAAA822A7FAC16-earth)! 

See everyone for our last meeting this Wednesday!

We hope everyone has had a great week and that everyone’s first round of exams have gone smoothly. We’re almost to spring break!

This Wednesday (3/1) we will be having our meeting @6 in Boswell Hall 1. This meeting will be focused on our group’s participation in Impact Week!!! Impact week is a one-week, campus-wide competition for undergraduate votes and for various funding amounts ranging from $2500-$1000. FFA is competing to purchase new foods and supplies for the satellite location in Sadler. To thank the students who vote for us, we will be creating “thank you” notes at the meeting. Bring your markers, pens, etc!

***Most importantly*** We need your help to ensure that the mission of FFA is shared with as many students as possible. Sign up for a slot (or slots!!) as soon as you can. Tabling begins on Thursday! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1URVZnDoS6tWKJO81zNVZxLWOFnfTLZpGxozWiskakF8/edit#gid=0

As always, have a great evening and see you on Wednesday. 

Hello FFA!

We hope your Monday is off to a great start. Some announcements for the group:

1. We have an exciting general body meeting planned for this week. Our guest speaker is Dr. Sasi, who is an adjunct lecturer of Asian and Middle Eastern studies. While not teaching, Dr. Sasi runs his own farm local to campus. He is the Executive President of Harvest Earth, a non-profit focused on facial justice, food justice, and climate justice. He also runs his own farm and is a popular vendor in CW’s Saturday farmers market.

You can read more about him here: https://www.wm.edu/as/globalstudies/ames/people/balasundaram_s.php

Our meeting time is 6:30 in Boswell Hall #342, this is the same room we met the first time.

2. Our club has applied for both SA funding and a national grant that would allow us to begin working on plans to expand our reach with FFA by moving the Campus Food Exchange to an old kitchen in One Tribe Place.
3. Recently, the Williamsburg Merchants Association and the W&M Law school both had successful food drives to help us restock!
4. Please volunteer for the Campus Food Exchange! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0e4caaa822a7fac16-fall1

That’s all for now. See everyone on Wednesday!

When: Thursday, April 13th, 2022, 7:00 to 8:00 PM

Where: Blow 333

What: Join us to get a recap of our successes this semester, upcoming events for the last few weeks, and to hear what’s in store for us.

This Saturday, 4/15, at 2 PM we are attending Veggie Society’s lettuce eating competition on the Sunky G’s. It costs 4 dollars to enter and in return you get your very own lettuce head of which we expect you to devour very very quickly. The person who scarfs down their lettuce the fastest will be crowned lettuce victor: an honorary but prestigious award. All proceeds will be donated to the Campus Food Exchange.

Our swipe drive this past Tuesday was a huge success with over 600 donations! Thank you to everyone who donated. Students can now apply for 10 swipes through the Dean of Students office. https://www.wm.edu/offices/deanofstudents/heartfund/index.php

Lastly, sign up to volunteer at the Food Exchange! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0e4caaa822a7fac16-spring

We are closing out a very productive and successful first semester ever and I am super proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish.  

Have a great week!
