Transitioning to Tailored Delivery and FIFE

Once you've joined The Network and committed to regular communication, you move beyond our basic starter packages into a world of tailored choice and empowerment.

The Shift to Tailored Delivery

We are building as we grow our own resource base. While your initial care package comes from donations, we are now starting the move to a delivery of items found within our newly built resource section for committed members of The Network.

Commitment Equals Choice: For those committed to regular connection, you will gain access to this dedicated section. Here, you will be empowered to browse and select the items your household truly needs from our growing resource base for food items and other necessities.

Taking What You Need: This transition is about restoring your power—teaching you to take what you need, not just what is given. We monitor selections to ensure responsible use and fairness across our community.

Introducing FIFE: Food Is For Everyone

FIFE (Food Is For Everyone) has a new, growing initiative focused on sustainable health and wellness education. It is accessible to everyone within The Network, freely shared for the benefit of all. While FIFE is not a requirement for any other program, it offers incredible benefits, especially for those in the Not Just A Food Program looking to take control of their nutritional health.

FIFE focuses on a vital concept: that the nutrients we need can be accessed through healthy food choices, rather than expensive supplements. Our educational efforts include:

  • Wellness Profiles: Learning about your body’s unique needs for better health and productivity.

  • Nutrition Education: Understanding the power of healthy food choices, including the critical role of vitamins and minerals for maintaining health or for recovery.

Growing Your Wellness: The Plant Share Program

For participants in the Not Just A Food Program who may lack space to grow their own food, or for anyone wanting direct access to fresh nutrition, FIFE proudly includes the Plant Share Program. This is a growing collective of individuals willing to share what they are growing with those most in need.

We are actively working on securing locations for year-round growing to allow greater participation. We focus on accessible and nutrient-dense plants, utilizing the Kratky method—a simple, passive hydroponic technique. This allows us to grow in small spaces all year long, ensuring continuous access to the nutrients vital for our health and wellness. Spices, teas, and raw plants for salads are excellent ways to integrate this fresh nutrition.

Empowered Selection: As part of FIFE, participants will transition from being told what they need to telling us what they need. Through engagement with our education—including reading and video content—participants will gain an understanding of their nutritional requirements. This knowledge then allows them to select the specific plants they would like to access through Plant Share for their own health and wellness journey.

Through consistent participation in FIFE, members will build greater confidence and take the next steps toward improved well-being, which will lead to further options as we work towards our goals with the LIFE Transitional Housing Project and stable living options.
