A glorious summer morning in the Sogn Valley with a fine crew! Thanks to (L-R) Chuck Lentz, Barb Rose, Cara Rodriguez, Barb Pratt, Tessa Meiser, Katy Lowery and David Edminster  – the corn you picked went to Pillsbury United Communities’ Food Bank at Waite House in the Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis. The staff assured me that it would all be distributed that day and much of it on dinner tables that very night. A recent message from our partners at The Food Group noted that food shelf visits by children are rising in Minnesota. As I work with the various food banks I keep hearing that even though lockdowns have ended, the need for food banks has continued to grow. Thanks to everyone who helps with this project: the need is real and your contributions matter.
