Rural Resources

Description

: We are currently working with both institutions through the Food Security Committee to develop community strategies for addressing food insecurity. Additionally, students at both institutions have played roles in moving the work of our organization forward by volunteering and serving as interns. Students have also engaged in community based research and are responsible for gathering statistical and evaluative information that have helped us make decisions about what and how to run programs. We see many additional opportunities for working with both institutions in the future.

Gene Maddox has worked with Rural Resources since 2003. He coordinates the Local Food for Better Living Project and plans Grazing Events. Gene studied social work at East Tennessee State University.

: We partner with both school systems through the Food Security Committee to develop community strategies for addressing food insecurity. Additionally, we have deep relationships with the city schools in that we have worked with them for years to maintain gardens at Tusculm View, Hal Henard, and Highland Schools. We are also very proud of the great work done by teachers at Greeneville Middle School. We applaud and support all of these gardens however we can. All the gardens are currently under school leadership but we continue to support them however we can!
