Bucknell University, Environmental Stewardship

The VISTA will support environmental and community resiliency in a former coal and manufacturing town, by helping the City of Shamokin implement its Environmental Resiliency Plan as part of revitalization efforts. They will convene and lead steering committee meetings; help develop commitments among collaborators and formalize partnerships; develop education and communication materials; develop an outreach plan; develop and support new programs; develop a system for assessing the outcomes and impacts.
Food Access
The Little Free Farmstand is a centralized drop off point for home gardeners that have food to share, and people who need produce to find it there. It is where gleaned items from local farms are distributed to the greater community. This program helps to manage the operation and recruiting volunteers from the neighborhood to be involved in the operation. We will also work with local high school students to build an appreciation for gardening and assist with engaging neighbors in distribution and cooking demonstrations.

Mighty Writers’ food and literacy distribution program supports some of Philly’s most hard-pressed neighborhoods with fresh and shelf stable foods, diapers, books and more. Summer Associate will assist with daily food and literacy distribution, recruit and/or manage community volunteers, improve the food security situation of many area residents by increasing the number of individuals attending distribution each day, and survey families to determine gap in needs and work with other MW staff to implement a plan of action to meet these needs in partnership with other organizations.

The Summer Associate will complement the work of our overall three year VISTA project to build capacity for the newly established Union County Food Hub. The Hub is CAA’s newest program, launched in January 2021, as a result of the VISTA project. CAA is partnering with the Lewisburg YMCA at The Miller Center, powered by Evangelical and Geisinger, to build a centralized food storage and distribution center to benefit the existing pantries and distributions operating around Union County and immediate surrounding areas.
