The following is an excerpt from our partner’s press release.
Round the Bend Farm, a Center for Restorative Community that models, teaches, and advocates for resilient local food systems, today announced that it has received a $1 million grant from The Yawkey Foundation. The grant is in support of Round the Bend’s mission to provide equitable access to education and healthy, locally grown fruits and vegetables for communities across the South Coast.
This transformational grant builds on more than a decade of partnership between the Yawkey Foundation and Round the Bend Farm. Over the past ten years, the Foundation has provided sustained support for the farm’s innovative programs and community outreach initiatives, including the Manifest Love food truck, which brings nutritious, locally sourced meals directly to individuals and families throughout the region.
