Stella Delp ’22 kicks off meetings of FarmLink, a nonprofit startup made up of students across universities, with a 10-second burst of energy before getting down to business.
“Just turn on some music, everybody dance, get your blood pumping,” said Delp, manager of internal operations for the group. “I wanted people to get excited and feel present where they are, like we’re all in this together.”
The FarmLink Project is a “grassroots movement” that connects farmers who have excess produce from COVID-19 restaurant shutdowns with food banks that have increased need due to job loss. The idea was hatched by James Kanoff ’22 in early April and has received national media attention.
