Food Drive for the Pioneer Valley Project

So yes, this blog has been quiet for over a year. But we have been doing different things and are going to start using this blog again to share our activities and ideas. You can also find us here.

Right now we are working on gathering food donations for the Pioneer Valley Project's food bank. We have done this before and hosted a member to speak about their group at our event in October, "Disowning Columbus Day: Celebrating People's Resistance." (more to come about that mini-conference soon!)

Food donations need to be culturally sensitive, that is, recognizing that most of the people who work with the Pioneer Valley Project are migrants or immigrants from Mexico and Central America so please bring beans, rice, maseca (corn flour) and other such items.

Donations can go outside of the office of Judith Flores Carmona, in the Franklin Patterson Hall (top floor, right near the copy machine), Hampshire College, Amherst, MA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!!!
