JHFS Project Support Team

This team is composed of members that have received funding from the Community of Interest (or other partners) for work directly or indirectly related to the root causes of an unjust & unhealthy food system.
All projects must have an anti-racist or anti-oppressive actions component.

Patrick

Community Safety Section

Patrick is part-time City staff member in Tacoma's Sustainability Office and full-time student at the University of Washington. Since joining the City, I have knocked on over 6,000 doors in Tacoma's Eastside and South End neighborhoods and engaged with groups across our community. It has been a privilege to get to know and work with so many people who want to join together to make Tacoma a better place.

Below are links to projects Melissa would like you to consider donating to, and projects JHFS is supporting to find funding:

Canning & Preservation For PoC

Please note: All direct donations to an individual are considered non-tax deductible gifts
Donations to the Initiative are tax-deductible

You can fund members in multiple ways. We ENCOURAGE you to donate directly to members, as this gives them more control and ease of access to their funds without the nonprofit taking administrative fees or costs. But you can also donate directly to the JHFS COI and tell them you want the money to go to Siabhon’s project.
