Testimonials

Working with Ms. Hishaw was a pleasure. Her presentation at one of Hunger Free America’s MLK Serve-A-Thon Workshops about the intersection of land justice with hunger/food justice was engaging and very informative for our volunteers; her expertise in farm ownership and the history of discrimination in land rights is so valuable. I look forward to working with her and F.A.R.M.S. again in the future!

Linnea Harris - Hunger Free America, Former National Volunteer Coordinator

Thank you Jillian for that wonderful presentation. It was so informative and got my brain flowing with thoughts. I am sure that we could have talked for another hour with all the questions and follow up thoughts people have..... Please know from the bottom of my heart how grateful I am for you and your work.
From all of us at HDFFA, THANK YOU!

 Caroline Danielson - Exec. Dir. High Desert Food & Farming Alliance

I have worked with Jillian and with F.A.R.M.S  on multiple occasions for over 3 years. I regularly refer her to coworkers and partners. She has a heart for feeding hungry people. She also has a heart for making sure that at the foundation of our efforts we support, encourage and strengthen small, minority or socially disadvantaged farmers.

Andy Lemmon, End Hunger Org

Jillian your work with F.A.R.M.S i so needed and you have definitely helped us do a lot of good work at SOSA. As many Nonprofits do, SOSA runs on a tight budget and your contributions meant that thousands of pounds of food got to pantries that couldn't otherwise pay for fresh produce in large quantities. I know I can't thank you enough for your support.

Abi Warmack, Former Prog. Coordinator, SOSA
