Preserving food through freezing, drying, or fermenting helps food last longer, reduces waste, and ensures supplies during difficult times. I will preserve or store food during the challenge to strengthen household and community resilience.

Purchasing choices can strengthen community resilience. I will direct 1 of my organization’s purchases or events toward local or minority-owned businesses, helping build diverse and resilient economies.

Local and seasonal foods require fewer resources, support nearby farmers, and keep soils healthier through diverse planting. I will source 1 meals per week from local or seasonal producers—such as markets, CSAs, or co-ops—to strengthen community food resilience.
