Nonprofit "leaps" into creating equitable food and farming system

Buzz4Good creator Michael Hemphill (buzz4good.com/c...) checks in with a nonprofit that recently made a giant "leap" - pun intended - by opening a new market stocked with locally grown produce and foods in an underserved neighborhood in Roanoke, Virginia.
The mission of LEAP, or Local Environmental Agriculture Project (leapforlocalfoo...) , is to create an equitable food and farming system which prioritizes health and abundance by supporting community initiatives, markets, farms, and farmers.
LEAP's newest venture is a standalone market in Roanoke's West End community. Here to talk about the project is executive director Maureen McNamara Best.

The United States has more than 1.5 million nonprofits - from homeless shelters, food banks and rescue squads to children’s choirs, science museums and animal refuges - that employ one out of every 10 Americans. Like any company, nonprofits have salaries and bills to pay, a budget to balance. They require money. And if enough people don’t know about them, don’t believe in them, don’t support them - in short, if they lack BUZZ - they suffer and die.
