09.30: Nick Saul & Andrea Curtis
2013-08-14 01:34:58| Powells Books Events Calendar
In 1998, when community worker Nick Saul became executive director of The Stop, it was like thousands of other food banks, offering canned handouts in a cramped, dreary, makeshift space. Today it is a thriving, internationally respected Community Food Center with gardens, kitchens, a greenhouse, farmers' markets, and a mission to revolutionize our food system. The message is spreading: Jamie Oliver told his 750,000 Twitter followers that he'd traveled all over the world and never seen anything like The Stop. Nick Saul and Andrea Curtis's The Stop: How the Fight for Good Food Transformed a Community and Inspired a Movement (Melville House) is a riveting story about overcoming obstacles and creating lasting change. This event is sponsored by Edible Portland.
