Sonoma County Food Coalition Needs You!
Big Step for Food Recovery, Help us fill out this online guide.
Petaluma Bounty is proud to launch the Food Recovery Directory, a major step towards our efforts in community food security and a manifestation of our work as a founding member of the Sonoma County Food Recovery Coalition. With this resource, we hope to complement the work of the Redwood Empire Food Bank and other emergency food providers in redirecting edible, nutritious food from our waste stream into the hands of people in need -- and you can help! If you are an organization in the area and are interested in being listed as a place accepting donations of food, please fill out the
online survey on CropMobster's website.

Volunteer Spotlight:
Megan Travers, Summer Intern
This month we would like to highlight our incredible summer intern, Megan Travers.
You may recognize her smile if you have ever stopped by our Bounty Farm Stand or the Farmacy at the Petaluma Health Center. Megan joined us in late June as an intern and has been supporting our programming and administrative activities ever since. Her warmth and commitment to community shine through the work she does, and we are so grateful for her contributions to the busy summer growing season at Bounty Farm.
