There is a lot of uncertainty in the world today — we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, let alone next week or next month. At Food Well Alliance, two truths have kept them grounded and guided by their strategy during the COVID-19 crisis.

First, there is no safer, healthier food than locally grown food. Increased access will not only help our communities survive the pandemic, but thrive in its aftermath. Second, the demand for this nutritious, immune-boosting food is greater than ever before.

Bill Bolling just couldn’t sit still after founding and leading the Atlanta Community Food Bank for 36 years. His is an inspiring story of Community Service sustained – literally – for a lifetime. Among other things, we discussed:

• Sharing a meal as a means to community building
• Community Service – like any business – requires the creation of a Win/Win
• The latent need within business to provide community service
• Urban Agriculture
• What lies ahead for community servants

Thank you, Bill Bolling, for your service to our community!
