In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
The post-World War II of the 40’s and 50’s shifted the food paradigm from local to high-yield crops and grocery stores.

Could a shift back to local be the answer to these 3 top issues faced today?
Join us for a discussion entitled, “Localization; the answer to more than just the environmental crisis?” with Tia Wackerhagen, RN, BSN, Food and Agriculture Committee Co-chair, and member of the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments.
