Madison College, REAP partnership benefits local farmers, schools
If Amazon doesn't have a Whole Foods grocery near you, there are non-perishable groceries ( food that doesn't spoil) that Amazon can ship to you
MADISON, Wis. – Madison Area Technical College partnered with a local nonprofit to deliver fresh produce, benefiting both farms and schools.
REAP (which is short for Research, Education, Action and Policy) Food Group launched a pilot program that brings locally grown produce to Madison students and area hospital patients.
Through this program, Madison College is providing a place for the produce to be washed, cut and packaged for delivery to the Madison Metropolitan School District, University of Wisconsin Dining and UW Health.
The program also helps out local farmers.
“By enabling institutional food service to buy from local farms, we invest food dollars locally and support local farms, many of which are struggling to keep their doors open amidst another farm crisis in our state,” said Helen Sarakinos, executive director of REAP.
The program will serve 12 schools in the Madison Metropolitan School District.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
