The Dixie Fire collaborative is helping those with food insecurities due to the Dixie fire.
If you live within the burn scar of Canyon Dam, Crescent Mills, Genesee, Greenville, Indian Falls, Indian Valley, Taylorsville, and all local burn scar communities, you can participate in a survey to help open access to affordable healthy food choices. Across the nation, Millions of working families, veterans, people with disabilities, seniors, and children in rural communities cannot always afford and access enough food for an active, healthy life, and of which most rural areas are considered as food deserts. Contributing factors can include poverty, unemployment, or low income, financial instability, transportation, and natural disasters, such as the Dixie Fire.
The 17-question survey will ask you questions such as How important is it to you to have a weekly local produce market, to have organic produce, to rotate the produce market within the local different burn scar communities, and if you are interested in canning and other food preservation classes.
At the end of the survey, you can detail how you envision food security for your burn scar community.
The survey can be found by visiting the Dixie Fire Collaborative website.
