Press Room public communications & media

Tree of New America shares its work publicly to support transparency, learning, and collaboration. Our communications are designed to highlight the contributions of our partners and collaborators, document community-based work as it happens, and make visible the collective effort required to address food insecurity. We engage audiences across multiple platforms—including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube—to share updates, document events, and amplify partner-led initiatives. Links to our social channels can be found at the bottom of this page.

Press Room partner & community events

Tree of New America produces short-form video documentation at community events to recognize the organizations and individuals who contribute time, resources, and leadership. These materials are intended to elevate partner work, support shared learning, and strengthen public understanding of collaborative food access efforts. Recent documented events include collaborations with food pantry partners, school districts, and regional food organizations, reflecting the collective nature of this work.

Press Room documentary projects

Tree of New America has also developed longer-form documentary projects that reflect community-based learning, volunteer participation, and partner collaboration over time. These projects are intended to document lived experience and shared effort, not to promote individuals or organizations.
