Hi Everyone,

I am truly humbled by the outpouring of support for this years Coat Drive and Jewelry Drive. I just came back from picking up a van full of coats from the Roslyn JCC, and tomorrow I am picking up another van full from Temple Judea. This is all on top of the daily drop offs from people in and around our community. In times like these, where so many people are struggling to put food on the table and to pay their rent, the spirit of compassion, generosity, and good will, is needed more than ever, and the iEat Green circle has really come through!! Thank you to everyone who has contributed. The East Flatbush Community Partnership will be picking it all up on Thursday, so if you have any last minute donations, you can drop them off today at the iEat Green Homestead.

Amanda Terillo, Author of Kitchen Confidence, is this Week’s Guest on the Progressive Radio Network!

As a young Registered Dietitian, Amanda was aware that her training did not make enough of a connection between nutrition and agriculture. There was a disconnect that she was not comfortable with. Amanda pursued a graduate degree in Sustainable Food Systems to help her better understand how she could bring them together. Formerly living in Washington D.C., Amanda and her family have relocated to Central Virginia where she started a small family farm.  Her farm, Olive Branch Gardens, allows her the opportunity to continue to educate the public about the importance of Environmental Nutrition through presentations and writing. Her book, Kitchen Confidence is a guidebook to teach individuals how to cook nutritious meals while reducing food waste at home. 

Amanda also holds a leadership position with the Planetary Health Collective, which is an organization for food and nutrition professionals to use their platform to cultivate a more just, regenerative and climate resilient future for all. I hope you can join us on Thursday for a great conversation on the connection between what we eat and our health.
