The City of East Point partnered with local food collaborative, Food Well Alliance and Metro Atlanta Urban Farm to create the ‘Bucket Brigade’ on Friday, April 17, 2020.
Staff members from each entity prepared 150 bucket gardens to be delivered to food-insecure families around East Point. Each bucket garden was comprised of three separate prepared buckets pre-planted with a tomato, pepper and parsley plant.
Food Well Alliance: We are connecting organizations that are working to make metro Atlanta's local food system resilient, including production, processing, distribution, consumption and recovery.
The creation of Food Well Alliance was made possible through funding from the founding benefactor, the James M. Cox Foundation, and through the vision of Jim Kennedy, chair of Cox Enterprises, and Bill Bolling, founder of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Together, they saw an opportunity to build healthier communities across metro Atlanta by supporting and connecting members of our local food movement. Today, we support more than 300 community gardens, urban farms and orchards in the Atlanta region.
