 When I first started doing this work we were doing community engagement and we did that in a lot of different ways. I talked to people in the community and what I heard a lot of was there's not enough for youth to do and there's not enough places to be physically active. So we formed a resident council and out of that resident council came the idea that we really needed a recreation center in Walsenburg. We've been to so many schools where the kitchen staff is kind of an afterthought and the school meal program is just, it's an afterthought and when you have that type of environment it's very hard to create a sustainable change. Our food desert here surrounding the hospital is a food desert because it's literally so many miles to a grocery store and there's no public transit and so we're also a food swamp because we have three convenience stores in the zip code and we have an entire population of elderly and disabled and unhealthy people eating completely out of three corner stores. We look also at the residents living in these neighborhoods over decades. You know they have the higher statistics of poor health. They have no resources that they can access close so travel is an issue. If people do not have their own transportation and you're not near a bus line or you know public transportation then that creates another barrier. We've got to protect our land and our water first and foremost because if we don't have land and water we cannot produce the vegetables for our future generations because I have three kids and you know if they want the opportunity I want them to be able to return home to the farm. This used to be a place that was not alive it was not colorful people chose not to come here and then on this one beautiful September day around four years ago 300 people showed up in this park and what happened we built a new park but we started building a new community people started meeting their neighbors they started knowing each other in ways that they had never known each other before and they realized something that they all share a lot of the hopes same hopes and desires for their community and they also realized that when we come together we can do some pretty amazing things. Fortunately I was invited to a couple of Live Well Colorado activities and when they found out I was applying for SNAP they explained to me what Double Up Bucks was all about and the benefits of it so I was very excited to have two ways that people could come to the farm stand and use their SNAP cards and then double their vegetable purchase. Currently I'm working a pilot to bring produce like you see here in corner stores that have not had items like that for decades. When these stores existed at their origins there were the outlet in the neighborhood that people could walk to. So for Idaily a school district they are a rural school district they're rather small we have about 220 kids total in this school but a lot that they do can be applied even to larger school districts and it really comes down to the support and the investment that the community and the school has in their students and understanding and recognizing the importance that healthy food really plays when it comes to how these students are able to learn and participate in school as a whole. I live here in the city of Swansea and I use the Double Up Bucks program. It's very important because if we support the farmers who have more work and for us to consume fruits and local vegetables because they're more organic they don't have as many chemicals so it's very important to support our farmers. Anybody who does mission projects very rarely does it in a vacuum nobody does this alone. We collectively can have more impact than we individually. So Catholic entities are not strangers to reaching out to partners to help them get all of the pieces put together so that we can maximize the impact and effectiveness for the people we serve. And so it's been great obviously to have Snap Abort and Live Well Abort. We're not in it for the almighty dollar, we're in it because it's the satisfaction of providing for our family, our friends and our community. We are talking about people and we are talking about hope and when you talk about people and when you talk about hope amazing things start happening and a movement which is exactly what's happening right here in the Mara, Colorado because Live Well Colorado chose to invest in our community. We have a movement of change. We have a movement of change that is all about.
