Our Community Eats (OCE) is proud to showcase partnerships with several exceptional regional food producers who share OCE’s mission of providing high-quality, sustainable, and locally sourced food to the community — outstanding operations that embody the values of local resilience, sustainability and community nourishment.
OCE is 100 percent volunteer-run, and 100 percent community-funded, with no administrative costs. Every aspect of operations from accounting and grant writing to stocking shelves and managing deliveries is handled entirely by volunteers. Even utilities, internet and security are covered by a dedicated donor, ensuring that 100 percent of all donations and grant funds go directly toward food purchases from producers. The producers provide produce, sausage, and wheat.
According to Katherine Solbert, OCE executive director, “When someone donates to OCE, they are not only feeding their neighbors — they are strengthening our entire regional food system. By purchasing directly from local farmers and ranchers, we help keep these producers sustainable and resilient for the future.”
As the world continues to change, the importance of strong local food systems has never been greater. Through the dedication of our volunteers, the generosity of our donors, and our partnerships with regional growers and ranchers, OCE is working to ensure that fresh, nutritious, and locally produced food remains accessible to everyone in our community.
