presents Carter Award
Harvesting
Community, a partnership between Garden City Harvest and the UM Program
in Ecological Agriculture and Society, is the recipient of the 2004
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Partnership Award for Campus-Community Collaboration.
Seventeen groups applied for the award, which recognizes exceptional
work accomplished by campus-community partnerships. The award is hosted
in Montana by Montana Campus Compact, a statewide nonprofit coalition
of college and university presidents.
As this year’s recipient, Harvesting Community received $10,000
to support its work, using a 6.5-acre plot formerly infested with
knapweed to raise fresh produce for area food pantries and soup kitchens.
