http://www.sustainablefingerlakes.org/map/listing/finger-lakes-meat-projectThe Finger Lakes Meat Project is an initiative by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins and Steuben Counties to grow the freezer trade (sales of meat in bulk quantities such as whole, half and quarter animals) to benefit regional livestock farmers and consumers. It provides educational outreach, a region-wide online directory of farms, and community freezer storage locations in Ithaca and Corning, called Meat Lockers. The Ithaca Meat Locker is a community freezer space for storing bulk purchases of locally-raised meat. Though many people are interested in buying meat locally and in bulk, many lack adequate freezer space at home. As a solution to this barrier, they posed the idea of a Meat Locker, just like ones that were frequently used in the 50's and 60's.

Decorate with a variety of materials, further embellish with a few more, and add a bit of something else for good measure. Many of her materials are recycled and repurposed!

http://www.sustainablefingerlakes.org/map/listing/friendship-donations-networkFriendship Donations Network rescues food and reduces hunger in our community, focusing on rescuing foods that have a limited shelf life and so are not typically available in a traditional food bank model. These nutritious foods, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and breads, are donated by local food outlets, including stores, restaurants, farms and colleges. Every day, volunteers deliver these perishable items directly to local pantries and other community food programs. FDN calls upon its network of volunteers to respond quickly once food becomes available, in order to ensure that food is distributed within a few hours on the day it is picked up. If FDN did not exist, most of this food would be discarded, contributing to environmental degradation and increased hunger.
