Hunger Relief

Each year, on behalf of the Town of Weston, Land's Sake grows and donates an average of 20,000 lbs. of organically-grown food for various local hunger relief agencies.

This tradition started in the 1970s when the Green Power farm, funded by Weston’s Youth Office, began growing food for lower income families. In 1991, Green Power farm came under the auspices of Land’s Sake. At the same time, Weston's Conservation Commission formally established their Food for the Needy program. This program annually contracts a local grower, who also performs educational work, to grow and donate over 20,000 lbs of food for local hunger relief.

For the past several years, Land’s Sake has fulfilled this contract and provided donations to a number of Boston area agencies. In 2012, we are proud to be donating produce to the following hunger relief agencies: Community Servings in Jamaica Plain, Lovin' Spoonfuls Food Rescue and Weston's Council on Aging.
