Stories of Impact
“The community really trusts the people who work and volunteer on the MIRA bus. We are able to take some of the services that are offered at clinics and hospitals and bring them to the community, to people’s homes who might not otherwise be able to access care. Most of the patients we see don’t have insurance, so helping them to navigate the system and provide basic health screenings is critical to their health and wellness.” – Kyler Hijmans, Nurse Practitioner

Empowering Communities 🍎 ~ Preserving our Planet 🌎
🌦️As Climate Action Week unfolds (April 15-22), the urgency to address our changing climate resonates across the globe. Yet, intertwined with this environmental challenge lies another pressing issue: food insecurity.
🌱Nonprofit organizations at the forefront of the fight against hunger recognize the dual nature of these crises. By promoting sustainable agricultural practices, reducing food waste, and providing access to nutritious meals, we are not only alleviating immediate hunger but also championing long-term climate resilience.
🌳This Climate Action Week, let`s celebrate the nonprofits bridging the gap between food insecurity and environmental sustainability. Together, we can nourish communities while safeguarding our planet for future generations.
🤝 Our partners at Walking Mountains Science Center and Climate Action Collaborative are offering a vast array of activities focused on climate action awareness. Learn more by visiting:
