My initiate is to create spice drives around the country to try to give more access to spices for food banks and raise awareness on the need. To do this I will also give resources to scouts who are interested in starting their own spice drives.
Spices are something that are often over looked. Although it seems like it’s just a small part of cuisine, not having access to spices has shown to have many affect on people (specifically immigrants). Spices usually have high prices making it hard for food banks to have access to them, but it has been shown that having acess to spices is very important and can have affects on school, jobs, sports, and wellness. This is because spices play a big part in connecting you to your culture, heritage, and family, so especially for immigrants having access to spices is important because it can make someone feel a little bit more at home.
