  • Real Food Challenge Seeks Office Space

    Nina Mukherji is Director of Programs at Real Food Challenge (www.realfoodchallenge.org), and has contacted us with a request. Currently located in Dorchester, they are looking for any space in the Boston that could be the new home office of Real Food Challenge. Real Food Challenge is a network of college and university students organizing to shift food the food at their schools to fair and sustainable sources, collectively creating a better food economy.

    “We have a small core staff and over a dozen organizing fellows around the country. We are growing and moving out of our parent organization, The Food Project, to a new fiscal sponsor, Third Sector New England. As part of the transition, we are looking for a new office space to accommodate 4 full time staff people and up to 5 part-time staff/organizers/interns.”

    Requirements are a central location, accessible to folks on Green, Orange, and Red lines (Downtown, Chinatown, Back Bay, Fenway, Longwood, Harvard Square. Parts of JP or Lower Roxbury)
    800-1000 square feet
    3-4 rooms
    One room that is large enough for 6-8 people to meet in
    A phone connection
    DSL or Cable for wireless
    Access to a kitchen space (nice, but not necessary)
    Windows
    Not too expensive– they’re a small, lean, movement-building machine!

    If you have any suggestions, contact Nina at 617-997-8440, or email her at mukherjin@gmail.com.

    Come to Boston University’s Sargent College, 635 Commonwealth Avenue, Room 101, on Wednesday, June 16, beginning at 6:30 pm, for a provoking panel discussion in the Farm to Fork series. How do we get the food we eat? At the grocery store? From the deli? Out of a backyard? This panel of specialists is excited about local food, but beyond passion, they are ready to share with you how they farm, how they buy, and how they serve with intention. You’ll walk away inspired by what’s possible! Meet the panelists: John Lee of Allandale Farms, chef JJ Gonson, Jeff Morin, Manager of City Feed and Willow Blish, volunteer co-leader of the Boston chapter of Slow Food. The evening will be moderated by Drew Love, FRESH’s Event Coordinator for Boston and Intern for the Real Food Challenge. Tickets: $10.   At this event, you will receive a free voucher to see FRESH at the Brattle Theatre June 18-23.
