Share a Share is our food access program. With your donations, we are able to pay a fair price to TTCF farmers for traditional Asian veggies they grow and donate to refugee families in the area. In addition to providing additional income to farmers, it also provides culturally significant produce to individuals who may not have access to it otherwise. This addresses 2 issues that are often present in food access programs: 1) that farmers do not receive a fair price for the produce they grow and
donate, and 2) that the food being offered isn't what those receiving it want to eat. Thank you for helping us continue this work! You can read more about Share a Share here.
