Field Trip! UW Engineering Discovery Days

To kick of May our 6th graders from UW STEM club took a field trip over the mountains for a campus visit and to participate in UW Engineering Discovery days. The year long program connects UW Engineering students with our group of 15 Campbell Farm Students from the Yakama Valley. This was our last trip out to the University Campus for the kids to be able to experience campus life and be able to try out college classes, interact with the materials, check out the library and even shop at the bookstore. This trip had them looking at cockroaches through a microscope - to say they loved it would be an understatement!

Getting ready for our summer feeding program

The Campbell farm staff recently attended the Summer Hunger Summit at the Yakima Valley College Conference Center. The event brought together seven groups from different parts of the valley to learn about the feeding programs in the area and the best practices for serving their communities.

The day was filled with engaging conversations where the groups shared their experiences. They discussed kitchen management, outside resources, food donations, the real needs in their respective areas, what works, what needs improvement, serving sites, and delivery. By the end of the event, groups were left with a better understanding of what was happening in their communities and a better idea of what they hoped to create throughout their programs.

The Summer feeding program feeds anywhere from 375 to 500 people during the summer months at the Campbell Farm. Those who live on the Yakama reservation, especially our youth, depend on school meals for weekly nourishment. When school is out, most families struggle to feed themselves. TCF helps by serving meals Monday through Thursday for breakfast and lunch. Each meal represents a home meal filled with love and each essential food group. We serve two sites for breakfast and three for lunch, distributing any leftovers to our unhoused relatives in the area.
