Impacting Our Community
Lafayette is committed to community outreach, education, and tangible impact on issues related to sustainability.
Community-Focused Fellowships
Made possible through funding from Capital Blue Cross, this year Audrey Weisenberger ’27, Reed Hewson ’27, and Peaches Darbeh ’27 participated in a fellowship program offered by the Landis Center for Community Engagement and Office of Sustainability. These students help grow, harvest, and distribute 6,200 lbs. of produce and gather information on food justice and organizations in Easton in summer 2024.
West Ward Market
In partnership with Easton Garden Works, this year, LaFarm supplied produce to address food insecurity in Easton. 1,500+ lbs of food was distributed at a pay-what-you-can rate at the West Ward Market, a local farmers’ market, with another 3,500 lbs. to local pantries.
West Ward Sale
The Office of Sustainability and Landis Center for Community Engagement partnered with Paxinosa Elementary School to host the West Ward Sale using a pay-what-you-can pricing model. In summer 2024, 125 volunteers from 21 departments collected, sorted, and distributed 6,500 gently used items from students through Green Move Out, West Ward Market, and Campus Thrift Store. 2,100 of the items were donated to local nonprofits.
