What does FEEST mean anyway?
Our amazing intern Karishama Vahora’s answers this question after another bumpin’ dinner at Evergreen Campus!
—-
F.E.E.S.T is what we are known as but each letter has its own meaning; we are the Food Empowerment Education Sustainability Team. Something that we live and stand by as interns and as drop ins.
Food- Something we create from our own cultural diverse minds.
Empowerment- As youth or young people we have a safe place to be powerful and show how much we know about our communities.
Education-School isn’t the only place where you can get an education, a real education is trial and error, learning from your mistakes and not being told that you’re wrong.
Sustainability- As an organization we continue to feed and bring communities together while providing fresh produce and our warm smiles.
Team, We are more than a team we are a family #FeestFam
As a current FEEST intern and a past drop in, I don’t have enough words to express how much FEEST has impacted me as a student, woman and a person of color. From out of state conferences to visiting local farms and learning how food impacts us in various ways.
“What’s cookin’ team?”
