THE DAILY GOOD aims to make a difference in the Keene region by focusing on Diversity and Inclusion, Food Security, Health and Well-being, and Literacy. Several of our initiatives support all four pillars and are determined by asking community members this question: “What would make your daily life better?”
Responding to a call for “foods from home” by students at Keene State College, we set up a table in the Student Center with nonperishable food items sourced from Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and other regions. The pantry proved enormously popular and was invigorated by brand-specific requests from the college’s growing population of students with roots from outside the U.S. We soon added a similar pantry at Antioch University of New England, and in 2022 we established another at River Valley Community College. We’ve also added a second pantry at Keene State. All of this growth, of course, increases our need for funding, and this crowdfunding campaign is designed to help with that goal.
