“20 Voices from 20 Years: Kimberly Orren | Frequent Partner and Consultant on Food First NL’s Projects”
FOOD FIRST NL
Kimberly Orren became involved with Food First NL in her capacity as founder and project manager for Fishing for Success. Fishing for Success is a nonprofit with a mission to transmit traditional fishing knowledge and skills, particularly to youth and women. They also promote the use of local fish as a culturally significant and sustainable food.
“We see local fish as a way of reconnecting with nature and ancestors, and other cultures through the shared human heritage of fishing,” says Kimberly. “I’ve been encouraged by Food First NL’s continued support and encouragement of subsistence gardening and gathering, foraging and berry picking, even hunting.”
